Snakes and Ladders: Glimpses of Modern India por Gita Mehta
A quick study of contemporary India, a land of massive contradictions. The author has a way of making India's many challenges into personal and intimately relevant vignettes. Recommended for anyone planning to travel there.
Book Title: The River Sutra
Author: Gita Mehta
Genre: Fiction/Drama
Book Title:
The book title ' The River Sutra ' is very different and novel.
Book Cover:
The book cover is a beautiful abstract art of a river, tribal life but nothing much can be explained about the story.
Plot:
The story is about a retired civil servant, a widower and a person who battles with extreme loneliness trying to understand the purpose of life. Being childless is also one of the reason to his idea of withdrawing from life. In order to beat the suffocating loneliness he decides to divert his attention to work again. He then applies to the manager post, for the guesthouse on the bank of river Narmada.
His new life starts with a different frequency. The protagonist here meets a varied list of different characters whose weird and strange experiences with memorable backgrounds makes the encounters interesting and surprising. A girl who falls in love with the kidnapper who abducted her, a womaniser who learns a life time lesson, a rich business man's son from UK decides to wave his spiritual path, the death of an aspiring musician who is visually challenged and many such different stories.
More than a straight novel, the books is a garland of various stories that are told under same roof. Every story had a message and the protagonist has some take away from these stories. The after journey of the protagonist with all these experiences is how the book ends. The author has beautifully illustrated the characters, their behaviour and the inner struggle everyone goes through.
Narration:
Gripping and very interesting style of narration can be observed. Kudos to the author.
Characters:
Every character is fantastically scripted and made responsible to draw the attention of the reader.
Language & Grammar:
Easy language and flawless vocabulary is used.
My Verdict:
An excellent one time read.

Here's what I wrote about in 2008 about this read: "Recall reading and enjoying, and that Mom-Mom found it 'strange' ;-). Worth a re-read to better appreciate the insights it provides on culturally and religiously diverse India."
