Too many errors to recommend
This is a challenging book to read because it seems like it is translated into English - and it's a rough translation. The sentences do not flow together, there seems to be words that just don't fit, and the reader needs to sort of translate the translation to figure out the intention.
The book is separated into three parts. The second part is written better - as if it was actually written in english and not translated. Parts one and three are riddled with editing problems such as punctuation and spacing issues. Part one has issues with the age of the little girl: at one point she is nine, another she is seven, another she is sixteen. I think she is supposed to be nine the whole way through. Part three has an issue with a character name being consistent. I also question the translation of the relationship of the old woman and the young girl. Through the story, it seems the old woman is a grandmother, not great-grandmother as is written. If it's supposed to be great-grandmother, there is a missing generation in the story. Part two is a cleaner. Overall, there is an overuse of the term "dear," and it's strange to read a nine year old addressing her father as dear.
As a horror/thriller story, it's okay. As a supernatural story, it's okay. Most of the action happens outside of the book and is merely retold. There is only one really gruesome part which happens for about one page toward the end. The rests is mere retelling of what happened in the past.
There are just so many errors and inconsistencies that I cannot recommend this book.
A well attributed tribute to women
Plot â 5/5 -- Narration â 4/5 -- Characters â 5/5 -- Climax â 6/5
I am not sure how many of us actually would read a book written by an Indian writer unless it is a Deepak Chopra or Dalai Lama. Maybe thatâs why he has gone with this American name that is based on one of the protagonists from the classic âDraculaâ by Bram Stoker. Or maybe he was just making another tribute in this story that is filled with tributes. From actors to writers to social activists to directors, the writer Hari Kumar has not missed anyone. Above all, it is a tribute to woman. Ironically, Hari or Harker has given a strong feminist message despite jotting down a masculine driven plot.
The Story is simple but complicated at the same time. The writer has been critical about English rule in India as well as the social evils of India. He has critically questioned religion while justifying the divine in a different context through the protagonist.
