### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    beautiful novel.
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in India on 12 September 2016*

The trilogy....beautiful novel...all the three stories are woven beautifully:)

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Distinctive language but not too much plot
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in India on 21 March 2016*

This is the first work of the author I have read and perhaps I made a poor choice. The best metaphor that strikes me is the description of western cakes, (by one of my more travelled friends), namely: light, fluffy and mildly flavoured; unlike Indian cakes which tend to be heavier (mostly) and relatively strongly flavoured as well as much sweeter. This book strikes me as being like a western cake, i.e. not much plot or even progression from beginning to end. On the other hand, the language is distinct and the author does make some pointed observations.There are what appear to be a couple of false notes too – in the first story there is a marriage (arranged apparently), but from the family names given, (Sinha &  Mukherjee, and based on my admittedly limited knowedge), these appear to be two different castes in Bengal; also a bride of 13 and a groom of 60?Then in the second story it is implied (by the description of the journey) that oriya is spoken only in some obscure region, whereas it is actually the language of the state of Orissa which has a population of over 33 million. (Added on 02/09/2016: The second story apparently has some similarity to an incident in Isabel Allende's life, when she worked as a translator.)However, IMO, the third story, while also slightly outlandish, appears to hang together a little better.

    the artist of disappearance
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in India on 15 June 2014*

It was a nice reading... Out of three stories two end up in some or the other kind of guilt or disappointment whereas the title story is A celebration of solitude which is disturbed by the intrusion of a documentary making group but in the end it is restored to its original seat.
