The Homing Pigeons by Sid Bahri

Reading novels from the debut authors is always exciting however most of the times it becomes a nightmare to finish; I think you understand what I mean to say here. Most of the debut authors now write out of desperation to get published and after failing to get the book approved by some publisher they opt to self publish and pay for that, results are disaster for the authors and readers as well.  

This novel changed the perception!

To start with, the cover page and quality of the book is international standards. I was impressed, it is very important for any reader to feel good, carrying the book with them. Full score should be given for the designer of the cover and publisher for giving a quality print and pages.

Reading the blurb at the back side of the book gives a glimpse of this book to be a love story however it is not just a love story. Reading the first chapter set the mood when one of the characters was laid off his job and was sitting in the bar. It is a perfect kick start for the story. The character, Aditya, lost his job due to recession and is sitting at the bar with last of his money. He met a lady, Radhika and his life changes drastically after that meeting.

Story line is good however I found that the story was not moving straight, the author chose to move the story more in a zig-zag approach.

I liked the way the story is narrated, author definitely maintained the grip on the story line and as a reader I enjoyed reading the work. The author managed to mark his presence. Characters were defined well and the plot of the story was also managed well which keeps on swinging from past to present.

I was not fully satisfied with the editing work, at some parts the short sentences becomes evident. At times, it is very important to manage a flow in delivery; short sentences gave it a break at times.  

A good read. I would like to congratulate the Author and the Publisher for giving a decent read after a long time. 

Looking forward to read more from them........
