I’ve not been a big fan of fantasy. That’s one of the reasons I’ve not read Harry Potter. (Yes, I’m one of those humans alive.) The reason, I think, is that fantasy is something I cannot personally connect to. But when I picked up this story today, I didn’t realise it was fantasy. I didn’t even read the title properly: just the synopsis.
Tatyana Tolstaya, in this story, starts with things that go missing. Socks, especially. She then tries to analyse what causes these disappearances. She gives three ways of looking at it. And then, moves on to describing her home and how she manages the socks. I know, right?
One fine day, when she returns home, she finds a small crystal ball and a small dagger-like thing. And she wonders how they got there—in a locked house!

The frontlit, high-resolution Kindle Paperwhite seems to be the officially preferred Kindle at Meraki Post; Veena, Gazala and Ram have one each. And while Pooja may claim she is more of the “Love the new book smell” kind of person, she may be secretly deciding between the premium Kindle Oasis and the simple and efficient Good Ol’ Kindle.
