Finally a satisfying read of this year's. You know it is rare when you can say about a book I am satisfied with the book, it filled me, yups. It's a thriller, it has unputdownable suspense in every chapter, it has hook point, easy to relate characters, a story that is so grounded with historical backdrops, it has an eerie, chilling ambiance from start to end without mentioning any ghost stories, perfect! So perfect blend. The book takes you to opposite side of the border, Bangladesh, in a sleepy town Sundarpur, one day a woman came and claimed the wealth of the zamindar of Sundarpur. She, Mushkan Zubeiri explained her legit acclamation of being the granddaughter-in-law of zamindar Bose. She got all the willed properties and started a business, she opened a restaurant, sorry, she called it a guesthouse, customers are guests and awestruck by her culinary skills. How come a Zubeiri became the granddaughter-in-law of Bose zamindar? You need to read the book to get the answer and here author provided great historical background. There's a woman who cooke food like spilling charm, villagers think she is witch, she is farming all veggies and crocodile in the backyard, there's an young grave digger who dugg graves in advance, he can sniff the death is coming to visit someone's house, there's a man worked with police, he has every news about everyone in town, people called him BBC, there's a schoolmaster who knows each one's ancestors and history of 100 years, this is Sundarpur, readers are welcome here. Everyone is in charm of the woman, police, and politicians all are her friends and suddenly a mysterious man Noore Chhafa arrived at Sundarpur to enquire about the famous restaurant and the mischievous proprietor. It's a brilliant blend of magical realism, thriller and breathtaking suspense, the lines are blurred between reality and mysteries. Absolutely fascinated by the book. V Ramaswamy did splendid work in translation but he couldn't overcome the south indian accent problem, titbits mistakes kept appearing in book.
