Book Review


FICTION
Ages of innocence
Istanbul of the 1970s is delightful in Pamuk's sumptuous, most enjoyable work yet: An utterly romantic love letter to that belle époque…

Too many parallels
A well-written story, but lacks a fresh perspective of crime in pre-Independence India.

Delhi dire
This savagely dark anthology on Delhi throws up some sparkling new talent.


FICTION
Tale of disenchantment
On the life and fortunes of a Mohajir family during the times of General Zia.
