ब्र आणि भिन्न ह्या अतिशय उत्तम आणि लोकप्रिय कादंबरी लिहिण्याऱ्या लेखिकेची अजून एक कादंबरी म्हणून मला ह्या पुस्तकाबद्दल खूप उत्सुकता होती. पण आश्चर्य म्हणजे मला ह्या पुस्तकाचा रिव्ह्यू कुठेही नजरेस पडला नाही, त्यामुळे कदाचित मी हे पुस्तक वाचताना माझ्या मनाची अपेक्षा पाटी अगदी कोरी होती. पुस्तकाचं कथासूत्र थोडक्यात सांगायचं तर ही कहाणी आहे पदमजा सप्रे…

Story of the book
Origin By Dan Brown
I picked up this book with some expectations about the author – unusual subject choices for his novels, ability to seamlessly mix reality with fiction (fictional reality?) and the wonderful geek hero of his books – Robert Langdon. To be fair, would like to clear out that I’ve read only The Da Vinci Code so…
Silent House By Orhan Pamuk
Anguish….. in all its forms possible out in the open, hidden in plain sight, buried in daily mundane things, implied by peers or familial members or sitting at the bottom of one’s heart recoiling like poisonous serpent. This book is a journey through all of these forms of angst by delving deeper into inner circle…
The Girl In The Spider’s Web | The Alice Network
Some feisty women those were! Mu summer reads comprised of two books of strong willed, spirited women. Although they belonged to different times and professions, reading them one after another was sheer pleasure. Had to admit that this was first encounter with Lisbeth Salander- the hardened, determined & intelligent girl of the Millennium Series. Considering…
The Girls
Been to Himalayas too many times has certainly opened my eyes to wandering cults/ hippies’ groups. They find the magnetic pull of Indian spirituality so irresistible; that they come to the Himalayas, find one such group and settle down for at least few months. Sometimes they come as followers of some mystic/ guru who is…

The Thirteenth Tale
Everybody has a story to tell. The most fascinating thing about this novel is it’s a book within a book (a future book??!!); more likely a story within a story within a story – something like standing in a room full of mirrors and wondering at reflections within reflections. At a precise point in time;…
