Review: A Thousand Dreams Within Me Softly Burn
A Thousand Dreams Within Me Softly Burn by Sahil Sood
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
“A Thousand Dreams Within Me Softly Burn” explores the depths of love and the power of writing that helps the human soul triumph over loneliness, alienation, and shame.
A Thousand Dreams Within Me Softly Burn by Sahil Sood, an LGBT Fiction. Speaking about homosexual is still seen as awkward in our society but author didn't mind those and given what is required for story.
An different out rage story which points out Siddharth a gay person who loves Akshay more when Akshay leaves how he leads his life. How he overtakes the hurdles is the story. As the part of story author portraits how Siddharth thirty five year old writer get his inspiration from Gautam a twenty two year old young writer. Also, Siddharth helping Phil to make him realize time and life what I liked most and inspirational one.
The way of narration is good and gripping. The language is very simple and lucid. The characterization is also very simple which makes to understand story easily.
The plot which makes story identical but still the emotions of Siddharth had been expressed well. The blurb could have been kept more clear about genre.
I believe the title is appropriate and perfect for the story. Soul searching and fading up the loneliness what the title replicates.
Overall, A Thousand Dreams Within Me Softly Burn is good and light read which makes you to understand love and getting it up in other way.

Siddharth, a middle-aged school teacher, struggling with an unfinished manuscript, leads a solitary existence in a remote village in Shimla. Gautam, a twenty-two-year-old writer, burning with a desperate longing for romance, finds solace in Siddharth’s old essay on Thumri and spends years in search of him. Phil, a young Jewish traveller from Missouri, beset by a difficult alliance with his Christian girlfriend in the face of orthodoxy, travels around the world and meets Siddharth at a café in Manali. The answer to their longings resides in Siddharth’s letters and manuscript—the silent witnesses of the fate of two men and their love for each other.
