Review: Fate's Design

Fate's Design Fate's Design by Subhashish Dey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I will start this review with the author’s introduction as given on Good reads.

Subhashish is a 14 year old student of Chinmaya Vidyalaya Anna Nagar. He has been regularly contributing short stories to his school magazine. An avid reader, Subhashish believes that books open the doors to some wonderful insights in life. An inquisitive boy, Subhashish loves to explore different places and spends time trying to understand the culture of the people there.

The reason is the age of the author. He is just 14. This book sure reads like it is written by a much older person.

The story starts in Moscow, Russia. Anastasaai is a alcoholic loser who cats as a hit man of a mysterious Mafiosi. He is given the job of kidnapping an infant girl and then kill her after getting ransom. He kidnaps Natalia and they get ransom as well. Her father Andrei Federoff is third wealthiest person in town. His wife Irina Federoff is devastated after the kidnapping. After they pay the ransom a corpse of a two year old girl is found floating in Moskva. Their marriage which was already shaky, could not stand this blow. She leaves him and goes to USA. Their son Felix remained back with his father. But there is a twist in the tale. Ansatasaai though a scum on earth could not kill Natalia. He develops cold feet. He grows her up with the help of her old mother. She considers him her father. When he dies Natalia gets a letter from him which tell her the truth. Meanwhile Felix also come to know about his sister. What happens next?

The language is first rate and there are no mistakes. Story flows smoothly and the descriptions and vivid. The plot is tight and doesn’t waver. It keeps you engrossed from beginning till end. Young author Dey has a long way to go.

4/ 5 stars.
