The Sialkot Saga by Ashwin SanghiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Finally finished reading "The Sialkot Saga" by Ashwin Sanghi and loved it. As with other books of Sanghi, this too never failed to tickle the grey cells of the brain. It's a real treat to the intelligence. The writing style is lucid, free-flowing, though at times I had to make a little bit extra effort to understand some pages, like the stock-market related events, there were so many of them, or the aircraft deal. Sanghi has quite an expertise in many subjects. This book clearly manifests his mastery over many subjects and the depth of research that he undertook to write this book. I really do wish to go through some of the books mentioned in the Bibliography section of this book.
The book is divided into seven parts, spanning six decades, covering many locations. The entire life of two protagonists are sketched. Though some part of the book, like the TRAC incident, is clearly inspired by some Sidney Sheldon novel.
Overall, an enjoyable read.
