Read Allan Sealy’s book, ‘The Brainfever Bird’, a story about Maya, a puppeteer, Lev, a Russian scientist and Morgan, Maya’s friend. The story shifts from Petersburg to Delhi, and back, invoking vivid images of both cities, and weaving an intricate tale of the lives of the three main characters and the way in which the events around them influence their collective lives. From the beginning the book draws you into the complexity that surrounds the characters and the plot comes to life as you are drawn into the story, at once becoming Maya, Lev and Morgan, sometimes even Laiq's brainfever bird.

I haven't heard of this novel earlier, but I am glad to have read it all the same. A good read for those interested in reading about books set in India. :)
