The book ebbs and flows from bright dairy back to teetarbani. The characters take an altruistic turn which takes the story forward. I get the whole narrative drive. The character arc isn’t linear, and neither is it pieced together according to themes or plot lines.

Let’s see how the book gets closed.

So the story is gone into a backstory. The book starts with a first person narrative of the murder. So the author outrightly says this isn’t one of those books where you chase the crime. She sets this up differently for us to enjoy the setting.

After the initial setting, the book moves to backstory in Delhi. That’s where I am right now.
