Have you ever read a book where you read the first few pages and you have no idea how the story progresses?

Well, this is one such book. This book kind of shows magical realism where most of the part we are in between fantasy and reality.

To be honest, the first 100 pages of the book was confusing and I found myself skimming the pages. As you proceed with the story, like a puzzle everything falls into place.
The events of the book remind me of Nirbhaya. And the events are described just enough for us to understand without any explanations or violence.

This book shows how a person can be influenced easily by their company and I felt that the author tried to show the perspective of the convict.

But the thing is, whatever the circumstances may be a crime is a crime and no amount of justification and perspectives will be enough to validate what they did to Nirbhaya.
Also, I came to realise how many crimes happen in our cities. Whatever reasons we are giving ourselves, we are using it only to go through the day.
