When and How did I read this book:

I finished this book in two days. Half I read while travelling to Jaipur and rest I finished while I was travelling to Ajmer. 

Why I want to recommend this book:

 I really enjoyed reading the book because of two things: One is Sabina., one of the leading characters in the book. Sabina's betrayal is alluring. Second thing I liked is the theme of this book- freedom and constraints specially in our relationships.
