Jewel-less Crown: Saga of Life

Book Description HTML

It's perilous penning this blurb. It's fine when man is modest about his work. It even affords him the aura of an invisible crown! But what about his work? Were it an art or craft, it is there for all to see. What of a literary work of an unheralded author? Well, lauding the same might raise one's eyebrows. Failing to praise wouldn't make a 'jewel-less crown' either! Why not see, if this is the great Indian novel. This piquant story of the material raise and the moral fall of an ambitious Gautam and Sneha, his conniving spouse and how that leads to the poignant death of the latter, resulting in the spiritual discovery of the former thereafter, also pictures the tragic life of their sole offspring, Suresh Prabhu, and his eventual redemption through love for and of the spirited Vidya.
