  1. Lekshmi Sindhu

    Fontane’s prose is exquisite. Effi is a sympathetic character, though her choices are sometimes frustrating.

  2. Tushar Choudhary

    The story is engaging, but the characters could be more developed. Still, a worthwhile read.

  3. Abha Suman

    The writing style is sophisticated, but at times, I had trouble staying focused.

  4. Mamidisetti Bharathi

    A bit too drawn out for my taste, but the themes of repression and infidelity are compelling.

  5. Anushtha Tiwari

    An okay read. It has an interesting plot, but I didn’t find the characters relatable, so the emotional impact was lessened.

  6. Aswin M

    I struggled to connect with Effi initially, but the story grew on me. A classic for a reason.

  7. Anwesha Pal Chaudhuri

    A truly remarkable book! Fontane’s writing style is captivating, and the story is incredibly moving. Highly recommend.

  8. Bharat Jaggi

    A tragic story, well-told. The atmosphere of th-century Germany is vividly portrayed. Highly recommended!

  9. Sumit Bansal

    Effi Briest is a timeless novel that explores the complexities of marriage and societal expectations. A must-read.

  10. Ishika Gupta

    While the plot is interesting, I found the novel slow and somewhat uneventful. Not a personal favorite.

  11. Ujjwal

    Effi’s fate is a stark reminder of the constraints placed upon women. A thought-provoking and beautifully written novel.

  12. Himanshi Wadhwa

    A beautifully written novel, but the ending left me feeling deeply saddened. A powerful exploration of societal constraints.

  13. Rohan

    Effi’s story is captivating, but the pacing felt slow at times. The societal commentary is sharp and insightful.

  14. Kunapuli Venkata Sai Sandeep

    A powerful story that highlights the destructive nature of societal expectations. Effi’s tragedy is unforgettable.

  15. Shantanu Singh

    The language is beautiful, but sometimes dense. Needed to reread some parts. Overall, worth the effort.

  16. Shourya Arya

    I found Effi to be somewhat naive, but ultimately a victim of circumstance. The ending is heartbreaking.
