I’ll be honest. I wasn’t sure about this book because I don’t often read Kannada novels. But this writer is very well known and after I put down this novel couple of days back, I bow down to him 🙌🏻 And considering that this book was published in 2007, I can imagine the kind of uproar it must have caused. .

Aavarana is a spectacular book that should be a wake up call to all Indians who have been writing false history for generations! I wouldn’t want to summarise the story and spoil the fun for others but I would really urge fellow book lovers to pick this up right now! Let me say this, even though there‘s a lot of fiction in this novel, the historical facts haven’t been tampered with. I would rate it 5/5. (10 if i could) .

This book is disturbing yet so utterly beautiful. .

P.S. I think I found my top favourite book of the year!
