About this deal

An attractive copy in a protected wrapper. Wrapper : The wrapper on this copy is very bright, is unfaded, and is complete. Looks very sharp. Jai, Pari, and Faiz have to confront terrified parents, an indifferent police force, and rumors of soul-snatching djinns. Down market lanes crammed with too many people, dogs, and rickshaws, past stalls that smell of cardamom and sizzling oil, below a smoggy sky that doesn't let through a single blade of sunlight, and all the way at the end of the Purple metro line lies a jumble of tin-roofed homes where nine-year-old Jai lives with his family. It is unclipped.

Reviews

The booktrail

The novel then explores the cultural and spiritual belief systems around these (mythical or not) creatures. What is worse however, is that no one is mildly surprised or horrified. This review is probably going to get a little bit personal, as I want to communicate to the readers that this story though had a hint of creativity in terms of interpretation but it is unequivocally true to the core.

I have a review up on _beautyandthebooks_ YT channel Kids go missing all the time, we are told by one character . Overall, it is a powerful, political and incredible novel!

🌻 Childhood innocence makes this story read like YA at times but it also highlights the true horror of what is actually going on on Delhi’s streets.

Djinns are a type of spirit or animal from folklore and so the story takes on quite a mythical tone. . In delineating the grave realities of social, political, and domestic, Anappara has put together an endearing and intriguing novel.
