A book by Man Booker prize-winning author, Aravind Adiga. Pakdokter had read his first book, 'the White Tiger' some time last year, and was very impressed by his style and story. So this book was a welcome find when pakdokter bought it before the Kerala trip. What made it more fitting was that the fictional town in this book appear very much like a Kerala town which made its reading during the trip more enjoyable.
Between the Assassinations refers to the period between the assassination of Indira Ghandi and some years later of her son Rajiv Ghandi.
It tells about corruption in politics and about frustrations in a society with discriminations of status, class, religion etc etc....
Pakdokter must admit that Aravind Adiga's first book was a better read.
