Review: Seduction by Truth

Seduction by Truth by Mukul Kumar
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The title of book is half true. It is about seduction -yes, but truth is a grey area here. It is true that adultery has become common in this day and age. Or maybe it was common since time immemorial. However, the easy access of opposite sex has made it more prevalent. Reasons of this are manifold. Is it right or wrong or somewhere in between? What is the mythological and historical perspective on this? Do the people who are adulterous have no conscience? Do they feel remorse? This book tries to answer these questions.

Shiva and Aakriti are a upper middle class couple. He is handsome and she is beautiful but the fizz is missing in their marriage. It has become a sexless marriage and there is no romance left. Shiva has doubt that she is having an affair. So, he decides to start one of his own. Her beautiful assistant Sana is right in front of his eyes. She married early and have a young daughter. One thing leads to another and they fall for each other. He doesn’t stop here. What happens next?

The book shows the process of an affair. How they start from causal meetings in restaurant and then move forward. Shiva rationalize the affair by telling stories from mythology. How Budh had affair with Tara. Sana also wants to clear her conscience and move ahead. Zeba and Mary have their own reasons.

The language is simple and pace is good. The book keep you engrossed and the interests is there to find out what happens next. This is for mature adult audience and they will like it. 3.5/ 5 stars.
