Emotional upheaval
I've tried to think of a more dignified way to speak about Mohsin Hamid's writing, but have failed. His words are like oil drops on a newspaper. It seeps into you, coating and colouring your emotions as you go about.
There are enough winning moments and entire chapters defying anything you have read to explain the desi condition-just these would make this book one for the ages, but this goes beyond it, way beyond. I am a sucker for good characterisation (which this book has aplenty), but it ...

Good read
Thanks Flipkart for a quick delivery. Always a pleasure to buy from you.
I liked the book/story and I can certainly recommend you read it to form your own opinion of it.

Strongly recommended
It’s an evocative title. Impossible to read those two words without visions of wafting smoke rising before your eyes, of moths drawn to flames, and inevitably, of junkies hurtling along to their deaths.
So which of these is the author getting at? Short answer: All Three.
Moth Smoke is set in Lahore, Pakistan, just prior to the turn of the millennium. The heady days of the late nineties - the coming of the dot-com era to South Asia, the clash of the rural, feudal rich with the aspirational p...

Indeed good read
Having read The Reluctant Fundamentalist, I was pretty sure that this buy wont disappoint me. To my surprise, I loved Moth Smoke even more than the flagship book of the author.
Its a very neatly written story going deeper into the private dark lives of some characters yet not letting us leave hope at the same time.
Amazingly written story of love, choices made and regrets.

Live through it
Hope. Heartbreak. Love. Longing. You feel everything. Beautifully written that when you reach the last page, you really wished the book had another 100 pages. You feel what each character feels. Gripping narrative, inventive storytelling. A book from the subcontinent that doesn't cater to the west, instead keeps it real. It doesn't slip into long, winding description of situations trying to 'explain' the plot to the West. Instead, just concentrates on the storytelling. A must read.
