Book Name - A Glance At The Unknown : Sometimes answers to life come from unusual sources
Author - Sangeeta Shankaran Sumesh
Publication - Notion Press
Pages - 169
Genre - Spiritual Fiction
The Story Unfolds :
Main Characters - Sid, Shiva, Shilpa
Blurb:
A Glance at the Unknown is an intriguing suspense thriller involving murder, rape, extra-marital affairs, treachery and tragedy. Each short story eventually converges into main story.
Sid needs to find answers to his father's untimely and unfortunate death. He goes in search of the infamous goons, veerargals, to avenge his father's death.
Soon he realizes that he's not the only one marching toward the unknown and seeking answers to the mystery of life. Now, in a group of five, sid and his acquaintances-turned-friends, want to unearth the enigma in their life.
They want revenge, do they find it? will they be spared? what was the invisible truth? Were they able to unravel it? Read this captivating story to discover more.
Do you all believe in karma? Ever heard Karma haunts you or Karma is a bitch?
This book is a Perfect example of all karma believers - ' What you sow, so you reap in this birth and your next birth". Karma has been defined as a boomerang, the farther you throw, the faster it will come back to you. Well I am a big Karma believer.
The book starts with the life's of Shilpa, Shiva, Sid and Sid's Father. Initial chapters was like trailer of a film. There are 4 different stories going on, but slowly and eventually each story converges into the main story. As its a suspense thriller, so revealing much would work as a spoiler.
As it is very well said by the author that 'Why do certain things in life happens the way they happen?
At times, there is no obvious answer. And sometimes it is baseless, meaningless and defies logic."
What I Liked :
1) It is a nicely written story. I could not keep the book down and finished it in one sitting. (Perks of being a CA CS Student)
2) The book has everything from life lessons of karma to knowledge, spiritualism, relationship and many more.
3) Crisp and clear writings.
4) Ability to narrate the story with twists and turns and keeping the suspense element alive.
5) Initial chapters have some violence but gradually it picks up the pace.
6) I could even visualize some scenes, its like a film's screenplay narration.
7) A Message giving book, which can turn your tables back to realize what you do today will have its effect on you tomorrow.
Just wanted to say Beware, Be aware of your thoughts, words and actions as they contribute to shaping your life.
