Enjoy this riveting thriller by Salman Rushdie
Salman Rushdie has always come up with the most nail-biting suspense stories and fiction tales of all time. Now, he has come up with another great book that will leave you hooked till the last page. In this book, 'Two Years, Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights:
A Novel', Salman expresses his thoughts about a storm through a lush, richly colored novel which is a great testimonial to his power of storytelling. In this story, Salman talks about a metaphorical storm that is about to hit New York City. Form this point, the book takes a drastic turn and the excitement begins!
The strangeness that spreads
The storm has created an eerie strangeness in the town. A very down-to-earth gardener is working in the city when he feels that his feet can no longer touch the ground. A baby who has been abandoned at the mayor’s office spots corruption with her very small presence and marks the ‘guilty’ with blemishes. On another setting, a seductive gold digger is soon going to be prompted to fight forces far stronger than ever imagined. The war has just begun between the light and the dark, covering a thousand and one nights.
Dissect this metaphorical war and challenge your existence in this world
This war will challenge beliefs and the things that that the characters have always believed in. Words will become more venomous than poison; whereas silence will become an utter disease. Even the lowest noise might just become a secret or a powerful curse.
Indeed, the book has its inspirations laid down from the traditional ‘winder tales’ of the east. 'Two Years, Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights: A Novel' is a satirical story which is full of jaw dropping truths that you have to face, completed with rivalries, betrayals, drama and redemption.
