Reviews

[Anil Dhingra · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fictional duo of Tim and Parvati roam across India and encounter the real events that occurred from 1910 to 1919. The history is real, the events real and the key historical figures are all there. Gandhiji, Jawaharlal, Tilak, , general Dyer, the king, viceroy are all there.
A mixture of adventure, philosophy, the birth of the independence movement, the deceits, world war one all are mixed with fiction resulting in a very interesting book.
Really enjoyed the book.
