Tom's treasures of fiction, poetry, literature and more...

Hi!

September has arrived and hence so has autumn.

 Yes, yes I know!

After having published The Girl with Seven Lives , I've realised that Vikas Swarup has now released a total of four novels. So today I am going to provide a timeline of all four of his novels starting with the earliest. 1: Q&A (2005) also known as Slumdog Millionaire. Swarup's debut novel focuses on the character Ram Mohammed Thomas who competes on the Indian version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? When he is doing really well, getting every question correct, he is arrested on the accusation he has cheated. Through explaining how he knew the answer to each question, the novel highlights the various moments of his life. I reviewed this book last year when I looked at BIPOC authors so take a look to see what I thought about the novel. 2: Six Suspects (2008) [the one I reviewed this month]. After being acquitted for murder, Vicky Rai has an acquittal party to celebrate but gets murdered at his party. Six people are found with guns on them. The novel follows all six suspect...

Hello people. Today I have some news to offer you all. I recently found out that Vikas Swarup has his new book being released in this country, in fact it was published on the 13th of this very month and year by Apollo Books. The book entitled 'The Girl With the Seven Lives', follows the life of Devi and all about her seven lives. It was first published on the 15th of July 2024 in India by Simon & Schuster India. Alongside the novel being published on the 13th of August (just gone) here in the U.K, the novel will also be published in the U.S.A on the 1st of September by Pegasus Books. Now this is a book that I want to read because I have enjoyed all his other novels. Hopefully, I will get the chance to read it sometimes soon and will not find myself disappointed. Until next, Thomas (they/them).

Hello again!
