I am a die hard fan of "R.K.Narayan".After the dawn of 2010,I said myself that I have to complete all his collections.Being a sluggish sloth that I am, completing all his collections is gonna be a herculean task.
I recently completely his book "The dark room" and here goes the review.
"The dark room" is all about the couple "Savitri and Ramani".Ramani always appears to be of dominating genre, on the other hand Savitri tends to be submissive.She never questions her husband and accepts whatever he says!Life moves on with the same way.
All of a sudden yet another feminine character enters into Savitri's life which leads to total chaos in the family.Savitri moves out of her home and for a very short period she stays away from her home.
Being so much engulfed with her family she could not withstand being all alone and she decides to return back to her family and finally she does that.
Well coming back to the title,Savitri tends to stay in her "Dark room" whenever she encounters tussle with her hubby.But there appears a situation which makes her to shun everything including her dark room and which makes her to move away from her home.At the later stage she again comes back to her home.
R.K.Narayan writings are always a delicious treat for the readers.His way of ending the stories are always different and you would witness a differnt cusp in his flavour of writing.
Stay tuned in this space to read more book reviews of R.K.Narayan's collection.
And the next book review is gonna be “Snapshots from hell” !Stay tuned!
Till then adieu amigos

Nice. I must admit, my exposure to RKN's work are limited to Swami and Friends, Malgudi Days and quite recently The Guide. I'm a huge fan of his work, and this review makes it sound delicious indeed.
