Twilight by Robert Jordon.
Tor. $23.5 (Rs 1192.45).
In the tenth book of

grows stronger.
2) Sons of Fortune
by Jeffrey Archer. Pan. `A32.75 (Rs 218.9).
In the tradition of

eventually, they come to discover the truth and its extraordinary
consequences.
3) Ignorance
by Milan Kundera. Faber & Faber. Rs 902.27.
Milan Kundera is the
only author today who can take such concepts as absence, memory,
forgetting and ignorance, and transform them into material for a
novel, masterfully orchestrating them into a polyphonic and moving
work.
4) Blue Horizon
by Wilbur Smith. MacMillan. `A39.95 (Rs 792).
At heart, a story of
love and hatred, vengeance and greed, this is an utterly compelling

John Grisham is a
promise of reliable storytelling—the legal trappings are as
persuasive as ever.
