Tiger Moon - Antonia Michaelis

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!

Sold - Patricia McCormick

This novel really touched me. It was about a Nepali girl and how she is brought into India and sold into the streets as a prostitute. At the end, she gets a chance to escape and to find out whether she escapes or not,read the 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!

Six Suspects - Vikas Swarup

I really liked this novel. It is about the murder of Vicky Rai ( a politician's son) and the six suspects involved. He entwines the entire story of the six people who are suspected of murdering Vicky. Really nice novel :)

Earth Song - Catherine Coulter

Philippa de Beauchamp hears that she is to marry William de Bridgport, "a fat old man with no teeth, and a paunch," she flees from home but somehow ends up as a prisoner to Dienwald de Fortenberry. The young woman's spinning and weaving skills, as well as her ability to read and calculate, soon earn her the household's esteem and the position of steward. She soon falls in love with him but her cousin Sir Walter de Grasse learns a secret about Philippa's past and tries to marry her. I did not like this book because I found it very crude. I would not recommend this book to anyone!

The case of the missing servant - Vish Puri mystery - Tarquin Hall

Amazing story teller. I was surprised to see a UK writer to write so in tune with Indian stories. I mean I felt like I was in India with the detective Vish Puri solving the case. Vish is a detective who is solving the case of a missing servant. The twists and turns in the tale make it a interesting read :P Really enjoyed this novel.
