Fire has no shadow by Rizvan Saiyed
It’s a thriller. I loved the way the story was narrated. It keeps you fixated until the end. Kudos to the writer. The only point amiss was the start of the book. It’s a bit slow and difficult to connect the flow but later it catches pace and you keep going. It is available on…

There are 10 stories in the book and each touched my heart. Coming from a middle-class Bengali family, there were so many episodes that I connect within this book. I was angry with Sujay, felt the pain of Shubra, could feel the rickshaw ride, and much more. The narration and language are simple. The only…
