Name of Book: ‘Her quests for virtue
Author : Saanvi Shrivastava

‘Her Quests for Virtue’ is a remarkable collection of stories that showcases strong female characters, all crafted by a talented teenage author. This book stands out not only for its engaging narratives but also for its profound exploration of virtue, conscience and character in the lives of young women.
The author, Saanvi Shrivastava, is all of 16 years and loves playing flute, cycling and learning history and international relations other than giving words to her evolutionary thoughts of good moral values. Her adept narrative finesse, coupled with deft character portrayals and accessible prose, fosters an intimate connection with readers, inviting them to traverse the intricacies of each of the short stories in the book.
The collection features a series of female-centric stories, each highlighting the strength and resilience of its protagonists. These characters face various challenges that test their moral beliefs and personal values, ultimately leading to significant growth and self-discovery.
Saanvi’s ability to create relatable and inspiring characters at such a young age is commendable. Her writing is both engaging and thoughtful. Her youthful perspective brings a fresh voice to the narratives, while her ability to weave complex themes into accessible storytelling makes the book suitable for a wide audience. The prose flows smoothly, making it easy for readers to connect with the characters and their journeys.
While ‘Defying Expectations’ highlights Mariposa’s defiance in breaking the glass ceiling of a world judging people by their looks and appearance only, ‘Gratitude’ touches the right chord of being grateful of human coexistence and the strong supporting architecture of your loved ones.
The author intends to create a small albeit significant change in the thought process of young adults with the virtue-laden stories. Her work will also certainly find resonance in educational institutions’ libraries, offering invaluable insights into human dynamics and interplay.
The book will certainly be a welcome addition to any book shelf. The book is available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats.
