A review by supriyasrivatsa
Tomb of Sand by Geetanjali Shree
2.0
I read about a hundred pages of this book, and have abandoned it for now.
The literature is beautiful. The descriptions, the characters - Geetanjali has a way of painting an image with words.
But, hundred pages into the book, one of the protagonists hasn't even woken up. Hundred pages of hearing her sleep! Inspite of loving the writing, the words, I abandoned the book, because the tale never seemed to begin! Page after page of imagery, even if beautiful, wears me down when there is no story to supplement it. May be, in a distant future there will come a day, when I want to only want to read beautiful words, and then, I will pick this book up again.
