A review by viveknshah
House of Cards by Sudha Murty

3.0

My first foray into Sudha Murty's world. I like her simple writing style, reminds me a bit of Malgudi Day feel as she tries to recreate rustic India feel in her book. Emphasizing on small town values of relationships over money , she poignantly captures the transition of emotions that play through the main protagonists as they first hand feel the transformation. This is a transition society is seeing as a whole so very relevant. I felt the book slowed down at stages where I felt like flipping pages over to see if it picked up later though she does end it with a high. The character development was good for a lot of the main characters which I felt was a strong point.

The verdict on Sudha Murty is still out for me and will probably read another of her books to make a better call.
