Author: Kochery C Shibu
Faith And The Beloved authored by Kochery C Shibu is a thriller that intends to weave a complex story with many key characters. The book begins with a good hook when, Alice, one of the key characters, murders Tony after a good sex session with him. Turns out Tony was her stepfather, who also attempted to kill his wife (and Alice’s mother). This got me interested in the story.
As we move further, we see there many key characters and their parallel stories running around. Prem, for example, another key character, who is on his way to take revenge from his brother's killer. Then there's Naithy, Alice's mother.
This book is packed with a lot of stuff. The backstories of the characters are too lengthy includes history, politics, underworld, family tree, etc; a lot could have been avoided. One may tend to lose the point or the motive of the story. The narration is a little unusual than regular fiction books. Every chapter here sketches each of the characters and their entire lives. There are extremely fewer dialogues, and the narration of events gets monotonous. Also, since the events are described from the perspective of each character, reading many events gets repetitive. Not confusing though!
As promised
the plot includes good amount of thriller, love, lust, and crime. The fluidity story of the
story could have been better.
My ratings: 2.5 out of 5.
I received a review copy of the e-book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
