Book Review :Crossed &Knotted India's First Composite Novel



Crossed &Knotted
India's First Composite Novel





The Blurb

Crossed & Knotted is India’s first Composite Novel, a book written by fourteen authors in close collaboration with each other. The chapters, each a story in itself, are knotted with one another through characters, events, settings and emotions. The result is a read that criss-crosses through a multitude of emotions bringing out deep rooted human desires. They narrate tales of love and betrayal, suspense and mystery, courage and dilemma, along with hope and resilience. Read it for a taste so tantalizing, that your mind will surely be craving for more!

My Review:  
I received this book as a review copy  directly from the publisher   Redomania .Thank you Book Club and Rubina Ramesh for the same. Cross-Knotted is a book written by the collaboration of fourteen  authors. There are fourteen stories in it. All these stories are very well connected with each other. As in emotions of all the characters are very well described by various authors in an very effective manner .
All the fourteen independent authors have done justice to their stories. They have penned it down in such a way that will make you anxious to read what will happen to the other characters in another story.
These stories are like a garden full of different kinds flowers .The fragrances of stories are  bewitching .Some stories are penitent .Some are realistic, enchanting , touching and heart-warming .

The thing what I love  about Cross-Knotted book is that the work is collaborated by fourteen different authors coming from different fields and background having a passion to write stories. Each story is written in such a way that it could  be interlinked by the readers easily .

Cross knotted is a book is that cannot be put down  or  completely ignore it. The  stories that touched heart are THE BURNING CANDLE by Mithun Mukherjee , RECLAIMING LIFE by Anupama Jain and THE DRAGON LADY by Deepti Menon .Cross -Knotted is a must read book by all.

A priceless collection of stories .An  Awesome read .Hats off to the Redomania team and Sutapa Basu for compiling it and to give us a wonderful book to read .
