Fiction Is Born Out Of A Fact!
A mesmerizing and thrilling tale of love, hate, and revenge
Fiction is born out of a fact! True, isn’t it?
But, this holds true when the facts are presented in the right manner in fiction. And, that’s what Ayan Pal has done in his book, Confessions on an Island where he has presented the facts in a well thought off manner.
This book is intriguing and at the same time has a perfect recipe for a thriller. Hats off to Ayan to pull out such a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and revenge. Ayan is a wonderful human being and now he is also a bestseller novelist in the making who has a unique way of storytelling that would keep you engaged and glued to the book right until you finish.
Confessions on an Island is a tale of an abducted woman who is trapped on an island by a man in a mysterious manner and there is only one option for her to escape—she needs to tell stories.
But the clue is that the stories must relate to the ones that are told by the abductor himself. Though she feels clueless as to why she who is also a bestselling author has been asked to play such a game but she has no choice but to play along.
And, then, the thrilling tale on the deserted island begins. In addition, the book touches upon some social causes as well while trying to tell the readers about what wrong is happening in society.
And, I am even impressed to see the kind of details Ayan has put in and this also shows how much research he might have done for example, there is one story where the author mentions the food in Rajasthan or even a restaurant in another story. In this book, Ayan has very nicely woven all the stories in a manner as if we put all the beads together in a thread. In addition, all the stories are well connected and relate to each other.
Ayan is a master storyteller already as he has co-authored several books like Chronicles of Urban Nomads, Crossed & Knotted, Rudraksha – When Gods Came Calling, and When They Spoke and with his debut novel he has proved it right.
Now, I am really looking forward to the sequel or another part of Confessions on an Island as it suggests at the end of the novel and that is even more compelling and thought-provoking.
