The Web of Karma
Author: Anurag Shrivastava
Pages: 291



                ‘The Web of Karma’ by Anurag Shrivastava is a tale set in Bihar during the 90’s where we get to have a glimpse of what the conditions were during that time. As the book starts we get to see that Dr. Sharan’s son has been kidnapped and he is helpless with what he can do about it. We get to how conditions have changed there was a time when all was good in the state and now the conditions have deteriorated.

 The book is arranged in such a manner that the readers will find it interesting how one story is linked to another. The characters are very well written and they are totally relatable. All the emotions that we see the characters are going through are so relatable. We can surely find someone around us whom we can relate to the characters. Each character has his/her own trait and they all have their guilts and moments which they are contemplating with. 

The language is simple and lucid and the readers will find it very easy to read. The book cover and title very much suits the story. As the book is based on true events, readers might surely connect to the book very well.

The plot is very well thought and we get to see how Karma plays an important part in everybody’s life. The readers will surely love the plot and find a little different than the usual stories that we normally get to read.

Overall, I loved the book and would surely recommend it to all.

My Rating: 5/5

However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
