Tiger Moon - Antonia Michaelis

on Tuesday, December 22, 2009

I liked this novel. It is about Raka, a young bride who tells her story to Lalit/Lagan, a lowly servant in her husband's house. The story is about a young thief Farhad who is commissioned by Krishna to save his daughter from the clutches of Ravan who is in human form. Nitish, a white tiger, helps him in this journey. At the end, the lines between the story and reality fade and the two stories blend together. Really good book!

The palace of illusions - Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

After reading the reviews by Mad momma, Mamma of twins and Mystic Pizza, I had decided to read this novel. It sounded really good according to their reviews. And boy oh boy was I pleased that I read the novel. It is an amazing potrayal of Draupadi's viewpoint starting way from her birth to the end in the Mahabharata. I really loved the way Draupadi had her own thoughts and it was really good. A must read for everyone!

I loved this book. This is another one in her series and it is about Vivian and Dexter Grant who have to help the Fates in this book :) Nice one! Very much different from her other novels.

The three fates - Nora Roberts

on Saturday, June 13, 2009

I really loved this novel :) It starts out with the statue of the three fates - Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. The thread of life is spun upon Clotho's spindle, measured by the rod of Lachesis and finally snipped by the shears of Atropos, the inevitable one.

The family of Sullivans tries to unite these three statues together which are missing since quite some time. All in all, lovely novel and a good mythology woven together.
