My Favourite Book
The most attractive feature of the book, which impressed me most, was the author’s mention
of minute details. The author does not give a picture of the slums of Kolkata from far but
rather presents a realistic picture with its congested dwellings, dirty drains, narrow footpaths,
people’s quarrels and fights, their feasts and festivals, etc.
The beauty of narration becomes all the more thrilling when it is realistic and true. No
wonder why the book has won so much international acclaim. Secondly, the superb
presentation of the scenes, characters and episodes whether important or unimportant in the
story, keeps the reader spellbound throughout.
