The novel falls into the crime fiction category
and the plotline revolves around the protagonist, Anand, an orphan who has been
leading a very insecure life right from his childhood, which also drives him to
go for wrong and easy ways to achieve anything that he desires.
The novel though portrays him as a dark
character but it also offers a humane aspect to his character and tries to
delve into the fact that life is but a circle and we are accountable for our
deeds in this very life. In other words, if or not, as they say karma returns
to haunt one’s life sooner or later.
The novel indeed is a daring venture into the
realm of crime fiction by a debutante, Preeti Singh. There are a few
grammatical errors in the narrative but they can be overlooked as all the time
while reading the novel, one finds oneself trying to delve deeper and deeper
into Anand’s psyche rather than trying to fish for grammatical errors in the
text.
The plotline is such that it lingers even after
you put down the book and one is compelled to
evaluate all those deeds (both good and bad) committed in one’s lifetime to
have things turn out the way we want them to. And don’t we all do that every
day of our lives? But what if all the wrong deeds come back to haunt your
present? Would you call the suffering that entails the inevitable consequence
of your deeds or would you think that you have been wronged by destiny gravely?
Well, before you sit down to
ponder over this, get the book and read it to know what Anand thinks about it!
