Customer Reviews

A superb blend of history and mystery

This is the first novel to deal with Indira Gandhi's assassination and its aftermath. The writer takes the questions surrounding Mrs Gandhi's murder in 1984 and weaves an intricate mystery that keeps the reader turning the page. The writing is so realistic and the research so meticulous that the reader is left wondering whether this is really a fictional account. In the annals of Indian literature this novel is a first, since it employs mystery, suspense and history as its cornerstones. In addition, it provides a keen insight into the lives of people caught in the maelstrom of 1984 in India. Definitely a must for people intersted in Indian literature and recent Indian history.

A pleasure to read

I went the school at which the author taught. His brother first told me about the book. I quickly purchased a copy and began to read one of the best books Ive been exposed too.

Untill one day she meets a man from India that changes her life and leads her to the path to answers questions of her past.
