The Last Song of the Dusk

In a race effort to banish my self-pity over lonliness, I sprained my neck and finished " The Last Song of Dusk" in less than twenty four hours. This happened two weeks ago and the song has been giving me goosebumps all the while. As I read, the book invoked so many different reactions and emotions in me  that I didnot know existed.


The writer, Siddharth sanghvi, is a talented story teller. The book is unputdownable, as the author's narration spans across time, places and feeling. The quality of writing is exceptional and the story carried a certain amount of magic in it. Set in the '20s, the story is simple yet superbly written. The author holds you thorughtout with his narration. The story is about love, art,jealousy, karma and destiny. The last song of dusk is a story of Anuradha (singer), Nandini (painter) Shloka (kid) and Vardhaman (doctor). Mr. Sanghvi was impressive in his debut, the story is an emotional roller coaster. This is one story that delights you and disguts you at the sametime.
