hey dude when is he releasing the third one ?
I enjoyed Secret of Nagas much more so I think you'll love it too.. As with The Immortals of Meluha he ends this book in a way that you wouldn't want to wait :) Read his twitter a few days back, he said he will start writing "The oath of the Vayuputhras" by October so am not sure when we can expect it.
Enjoy reading!!
thank you so much.

Alafair Burke is a good author, I love her works.
Long Gone by Alafair Burke, finally I was able to get it from my library.
suspenseful novel.
Alice Humphrey, daughter of a famous film maker, very privileged woman , wanna stand on her own, lands on a fine job as a manager in an art gallery after a struggle from layoff.
Unfortunately, her dream job place changed her life.
The day she arrived to work, Drew Campbell, who hired her was found dead on the floor(Gallery owner wants to be anonymous). Now she is in the middle of police investigation. She learned the man is not Drew, she was framed.
There are couple of sub plots, a missing girl and a man wants to find the killer of his sister, their stories are weaved alternatively, eventually come together with the story involves Alice.
Alice and her friend, their conversations are my favorite part. Alice's on and off relationship with her boy friend, her conversation with her famous dad about the case....,relationships are wonderfully written. Very interesting.
superb thriller from a fine author

oh.. I love the writing.
Very emotional. Simple writing . Experience the calmness in the prose.:musicsmile:
Short novel , around 224 pages depicts longing and desperation. Felt very heavy at times.
Anatomy of a Disappearance is his 2nd novel.(IN THE COUNTRY OF MEN--Don't miss his first novel.

Nuri is a young boy who lost his mom for elusive sadness and died.
Now Nuri finds himself in a grief state with his very detached father.
They share a quite, permissive relationship. But he loves him very much.
While Nuri and his father holidaying in Magna Marina hotel, he meets a young , beautiful lady Mona.
He is mesmerized by her. He develops pubescent attraction and lust for her.
Sametime his father too develops an attraction for her, he marries her.
Eventhough Mona is his step-mom now, Nuri's attraction for her didn't diminish.
He doesn't see anything motherly about Mona.
anyway... it is a moving tale of a young boy, tension relationship with his father & step mom( I felt his obsession with Mona little too much for his age :roll:, Mona is not helping the situation, giving mixed signals, confusing the kid with troubled adolescence) and his family drama.
Novel takes a mysterious turn now.
Nuri's father is a world traveler and political activist who is kidnapped while having an affair with a Swiss woman.
Nuri and Mona realize how little they know about his father.
Matar writes in a very calm manner. Very controlled and interesting.
Novel is based on author's own experience.
Matar's father was abducted while they lived at Cairo after fleeing their country. His father opposed Gaddafi regime.

i have just finished reading khaleed hoseini's a thousand splendid suns. it is a good story, though sometimes i feel that the writer has compromised with a few characters. but all in all the story is an eye opener about women's condition in Afghanistan.
Glad to see the thread alive. :-D
My current read is Kafka on the Shore. I have new found respect for cats, nowadays!
