The Next Life

About the Book

“THE NEXT LIFE,” a Novel by Ashok Sinha, author of 20 books, is the story of an Indian woman’s triumph against depression. A set of characters are involved in her journey – her husband, her sons, her psychiatrist, her hypnotist, her favorite hero of the Indian Film-world called Bollywood. As her story progresses, there unfolds a parallel set of stories from ancient India featuring emperors and sages; as also does India’s present socio-politico-religious scene. Naturally, many political episodes and undercurrents touching upon a number of other countries of the world – Pakistan, United States of America, China, Russia, Italy – come into light. Thus, this novel is not only a depiction of the struggle of an individual to win over odds of life and of her buoyant transformation, it is also a succinct record of the true happenings in India of the yore as well as of India of today, woven and intertwined in an absorbing frame of fiction and reality. Readers in India as well as anywhere else in the world would find this story touching and moving; entertaining and even educational.
