A review by harshada
Chowringhee by Arunava Sinha, Sankar
4.0
Out of the many Bengali customs I love - book fairs at Durga Pujo pandals might be one of my favorites. It was there that I picked up this book. I'm a big fan of Arthur Hailey and I was pleasantly surprised when I found this book actually predates Hailey's Hotel by a few years.
This book is a masterpiece and my praises are bound to fall short. Some of the lines are so beautiful, I had to sit with them for a few moments. Credit where it's due - Arunav Sinha has succeeded to make English words sound as beautiful as they must have sounded in their original form.
The beautifully described characters are going to stay with me for a while. Just like the author's observations and descriptions. I loved penciling out parts of the book that struck me as genius writing.
If you're ever craving something Indian to read, look no further.
