Reviews with the most likes.
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.
