Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line by Deepa Anappara

4.0

This books starts with a sort of mystical feeling, partly because it is written through the eyes of a child. when the story progresses however it becomes darker and darker, and sub-sequentially more realistic. Though the main plot resolves around Jai, Pari and Faiz trying to find the missing children, intertwined in these disappearances are the problems underclass Indians face. These problems are also reflected in short mythical stories. This way of story telling is incredibly compelling, and though it might seem repetitive the intertwined stories make all of them as important as the next.
