Lucky Everyday: A Novel by Babsy Jain

Lucky Everyday: A Novel by Babsy Jain is a wonderful tale of love, passion, trust and betrayal

My Book Review Rating: 5 stars – a reminder that you should always find strength from adversity

It’s not everyday that you pick up a book that appears on the surface to be about a woman teaching yoga to prison inmates. While that premise sounded interesting enough this novel was so much more.

When the novel opens we meet Lucky Boyce, an accountant by profession who has moved to New York, and has volunteered to teach yoga to inmates at the nearby prison. As the story unfolds we learn that Lucky is perhaps the most ironic name anyone could have given this young woman, for her past is wracked with duplicity and betrayal.

In this beautifully written, enlightening and inspiring novel Jain charts the course of Lucky’s life, from her college romance to the man who swept her off her feet. We learn of the trials and tribulations that have befallen her, and her struggles to succeed in a world where everyone seems set on destroying her.

The novel is packed full of twists and turns, mixed in with love, passion, betrayal and intrigue. From the intriguing beginning right through to the shocking – but satisfying- ending you’ll be swept away on a roller coaster of bizarre events that make this novel unlike anything else I’ve ever read.

Lucky Everyday

Review Date: July 12, 2009

Reviewer: Ava Suntoke,

This is the story of a young woman from India who lives in New York. She comes to America to start out again after going through a divorce. The story that takes the reader through twists and turns that come into all our lives. Although this young lady is well aware of the directions she should take at each turn of the road, it's not always that easy to stick with it. She learns. And we are left more aware too. The story keeps you absorbed and moves fast. I recommend it.

Cant put it down!

Reviewer: S. Phadnis,

This book is a must read - for even those readers who dont get to the end of most novels! It is fast paced and exciting with glimpses into rare but true to life situations. Most women will relate in some way with the main character Lucky.

What a great book!

Reviewer: Preeya Phadnis,

I thought this book was great. It really shows how we shouldn't judge people based on appearances -- the popular guys can be jerks, criminals can be nice people, and cops can be criminals. You have to really dig deep into people to find out who they are. A very touching book!
