“Extremely engrossing and beautifully written.... Wish this was made into a movie.. Each scene unfolds beautifully and would look great on celluloid”

Swimming Lessons

by Rohinton Mistry
- Rated 3 stars
“Certainly worth a read..
This is a collection of short stories which are interrelated due to the fact that it is based in a Parsi dominated apartment-block somewhere in Mumbai.I liked reading the stories as individual stories rather than as a volume. A few stories are absolute gems and I specifically liked the way the author has captured the nuances of Parsis. The ones that i appreciated most were Auspicious Occasion , Condolence Visit & The Paying Guests

The God of Small Things

“This is a difficult read. It leaves you disturbed and at times digsusted. Extremely well written but the story and the details of each incident were just too much to handle. I did not enjoy reading this.”
