About the book
Mumbai Marathon by Aarambh M Singh was an interesting read. Covering the lives of numerous women with Silverline apartments playing the narrator, this book is written in a unique style. Each woman’s life goes through a complete transformation by the time the book ends. It keeps the reader guessing, and in most cases their lives change in a completely different manner from what one would have guessed. The women characters are etched sensitively, and there is nothing crude about any of the portrayals.
From a suicide to a sex-change operation, every kind of incident takes place in this book. The pace and plot are good. It’s an exploration of women’s desire, ambition, identity set against their current realities. It is part one of ‘Revolution of the Third Kind: Book 1, a literary trilogy. It would make a good movie and a great book club read, especially for Women’s Day.
Thanks, Penguin Random House, for the review copy.
