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!

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 .
