A captivating Read
False Ceilings is a Family saga that tells a compelling tale of dreams and aspirations and shattered hopes. It takes us back and forth between generations all bound together by blood but equally separated by their petty jealousies and insecurities. At the heart of the story is a secret, guarded almost superstitiously and passed along from generation to generation that both holds together and destroys the family.

The protagonist of the story, Shakuntala, was born on some day of July 1930 in the picturesque valley of Dalhousie.

An impressive debut
This book is a far cry from what is usually published in the Indian Fiction category. The story has rich characters, vivid details and is filled with beautiful prose. The characters are very relatable and you can understand their thoughts, happiness and anguish through the words woven by the author.
Delhi and Dalhousie are beautifully narrated and you can view the transformations of the cities as the story progresses through decades in this family saga of a dysfunctional family.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading False Ceilings
Amit Sharma has been one of my favorite bloggers .The humour, plethora of emotions , his opinions on sensitive topics which were most of the times in sync with mine, his daddy diaries and many more write ups kept me always glued to his blog.
Story line and my Review
The book starts with Aaryan and his , "if - else" statement amusing the readers as they will start thinking, what it is all about. Amit grabs your absolute attention from the very first page and some where the coder in him see...

Entertaining quick read
The book title False Ceiling made me wonder what the book was all about. It's about the life of characters across generations. Starting from pre-Independence era, the communal riots to the Delhi of the 80s and beyond; I was lost in the lives of the characters. If you like trans-generational sagas, this is for you. also you'll never guess the secret that lay buried in the family for so long. the last few chapters ties up all the loose threads that may bewilder you as you read.

A cursed secret passed through generations
Review of “False Ceilings” – Amit Sharma
‘False ceilings’ is a web of relationships across the generations in a family where a secret is passed down from one to the next. It is believed that the secret is cursed and must not be shared with anyone else. However, it is the only thing that occupies the last conscious thought of the holder before they die. Spanning across 5 generations, a secret is passed along, sometimes knowingly, sometimes as unknown and unclaimed legacy. It is kept as a secr...

False Ceilings - Excellent Storyline, Brilliantly Woven!
Author Amit Sharma's book, False Ceilings, I have to admit, is a pleasant surprise in terms of how strongly it makes you feel nostalgic and want to go back to reading history as soon as possible. The summary at the back of the book provides a certain level of intrigue that is added to by the muted impressiveness of the front cover.
The story, though a little too unnecessarily descriptive in its earlier pages, turns into one that you simply cannot put down. You just start craving for more at ...

Gripping!
The cover of this book fascinates you from the word go; it is certainly something that you cannot ignore. When I read the blurb, I realized this was a story that spanned five generations. This is where I decided I am going to certainly read this book.
Page 1 and the author's impeccable language enthralls you. Unfortunately though, for me at least, this magic lasted only till I was halfway through the book. After a point, it was confusing and took some effort (read going back by a few pages)...
