very interesting i liked it very much!

This is an excellent debut novel. I am not much of a fan of Namita's other works but this novel left a deep mark on me. The book is like a sensuous, seductive stream of consciousness of a woman (the narrator) who comes of age, in a metaphorical sense, in the world of Bombay and it's corporate corridors. It is laced with lusty relationships, shrewd observations and the feelings of being a woman and lost in such a world. The writing is perfect, immaculate and very Indian in evoking sights, smells and feelings Indian. At the centre of the novel is a seductress, Paro herself, who is the alter ego of the narrator. A brilliant novel and one of my most cherished.

Bhawani.
