A beautiful Illustrative story of the most loved and adored god in India 

I am not a mythology fan, but I have read Devdutt Pattanaik’s work before and he is excellent at narrating the tales in his own pretty fashion. Having being grown in India in a family that worships Krishna, the story of the god and his tales has been quite familiar. But when you get an illustration copy of this favourite writer to re-read the tale in a new way with a lot of facts stored in little boxes here and there – you sign up for it! That’s what I did!

Difficult and amazing – These are the two words I would choose for A Girl Like That by Tanaz Bhathena!

I sat down to read this pretty debut novel with an amazing cover to lookout for a badass girl character which was described as a troublemaker ~ outspoken student. The girl by all means proves to be labeled and called as being a misfit in the society. Come to read of the first scene itself and you shall be intrigued. Tanaz Bhathena – You have beautifully opened the book with a scene where the two main characters of the book are dead and describing all about it!
