Tabitha Suzuma made me realise that nobody should be judged by their feelings. I know that words are not enough to desccribe what deep impact FORBIDDEN had on me and my feelings towards certain topics and opinions. Now that I finished FORBIDDEN( after two sleepless nights, crowded with thoughts) I will miss the characters so much. „These violent delights have violent ends.“ ~Shakespeare In an interview with Absolute Vanilla Suzuma tells us that Lochan and Maya's abusive and destructive mother was “in part by late father, who was physically absusive towards when was a child and rarely showed affection.“ What I consider brave is that Suzuma also included a part of herself, of her past in the story of FORBIDDEN and so made it an even more personal and touching read. There are humans, individuals with feelings like love, passion, shame and fear. Tabitha Suzuma shows there's much more behind a term like incest, such labels created by society. Her language and writing is the rope that's tying you to the swaying boat of FORBIDDEN's story during a storm of emotions and impressions. Suzuma has a talent for catching a mood and describing an atmosphere. This story is supported by a rich, complex and vivid language that adjusts to each situation like a chameleon, always highlighting each scene's highest potential. Their voices are so unique and touching, fitting perfectly together to tell one of the most tragic love stories of all time. The dual point of view, alternating between Lochan and Maya is the best Suzuma could have applied to tell their love story. "You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see,but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.”~AnonymousĮvery tiny detail makes this novel perfect, what really touched me and connected me even further with the story was its initial quote.
