Sigmund A

Being the first work of science fiction I have read, it delivers on both the “science” and “fiction” ends.

The way the author segues across time while leaving the reader's mind to fill the blanks and color the white spaces makes it further remarkable.

The author captured my attention in the first pages with beautiful metaphors and the likening of a bomb to a child.

The story is told around bombs, small bombs especially, while examining the lives of the victims and perpetrators. Some of the main characters even go on to experience a bomb from different perspectives as the story proceeds.

The book also tries well to create the Indian setting.
