Manjaveyil Maranangal - Benny Daniel





A multilayered multipurpose novel of Benyamin. It is an engrossing thriller. It is also about the life n times of the lively n lovely Diego Garcia. The book underscores friendship, unity n humanity. There is even a beautiful love story to show off. The book reveals a few facts on terrorism too. It depicts the history of the Antraper family and does a brief stint on the history of Kerala Christianity with special ref to 'mariyam seva' !!                                                            



The incomplete end is quite apt for a thriller. And I liked the idea of Antraper family rebranding in Ethiopia. Fantabulous concept.



All said and done, the book is a refreshing change but fails to make any lasting impression.
