It was a great experience reading Vanessa. The characters appeared so real.... The narration was so beautiful that one could visualize the whole picture. I really admire the writing styles and critical thinking of Dr Heera .The flow was so good that no one would feel like putting the book down without completing it .No doubt Vanessa is must read for anyone who enjoy reading such beautifully crafted stories.

At first glance, *Vanessa* seemed like a straightforward love story. However, the thoughtful moments of introspection woven into the narrative made it stand out as something truly special.In a world driven by instant gratification, the author's philosophical reflections on everyday life compelled me to pause and reflect, often revisiting certain passages. There’s so much poetry subtly embedded within the prose.I especially loved the vivid depictions of the school, the principal, sports day, and the FACT quarters of the 1980s.I can't wait to read more from this author.

The story revolves around Meera and Ram, whose school days, friendship and love are interrupted but what destiny brings for them after many years. The author does an exceptional job portraying Meera’s character, capturing her emotions from her school days to her life as a woman. Meera’s journey, from trying and failing in her marriage to making courageous decisions, is deeply moving. From a simple girl to a woman who is making tough decisions boldly, Meera’s character leaves a lasting impact. The story leaves readers content, beautifully detailing her feelings from her youth to her womanhood. I would definitely recommend "Vanessa" to anyone looking for a heartfelt and culturally rich read.- Chitra Sajish

'Vanessa' written by Dr. Heera Unnithan was a delight from the beginning and kept me intrigued as the story kept on building. The poetic description of the situations and environment in the book brought back so many FACT days memories for me. The characters were written so meticulously that I wish they were real. Which also leads me to wonder if Heera has indeed referenced a few real ones. With this fascinating search and wonder, I truly enjoyed and cherished my experience reading Vanessa.

Nicely written. Romance at its best. Took me 20yrs back ........Loved it 😍
