The Sialkot Saga  (English, Paperback, Sanghi Ashwin)

If you have read the other books by Aswin Sanghi, this one would be one point down than the others. Having said that, it IS a good read though i would have liked to have the mystery part expanded a bit more.He, like always, has amalgamated the past and present beautifully. It is wonderful the way the story of the two protagonists unfolds and gets connected.

It's difficult to classify what type of book this is. At times, it seems like a typical Dan Brown novel with a racy plot intertwined with mythology and history. At times, it seems like a Jeffrey Archer novel with plenty of twists and turns. At times, it seems like a non fiction novel covering almost every major event in India post independence.
