After reading this novel, I’m kosing the writer from the core of my heart. What a wastage of time.
Samarkand (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The novel was too good in first part, when it deals with Omar Khyam’s time, Hasan bin Sabah and his Assassin followers. But the second part, which is based in early 20th century Iran and struggle of Iranis against Russia and Britain, is so boring. The novel all of sudden converts to history book that starts mentioning incident in chronological order :bummer: So boring that I’ve to skip 2-2 pages at a time.
This reminds me Yash ChoRa’s ‘Lamhay’, superb in first half and pathetic in second half. Though Lamhay was declared flop, but this book got Prizes. sifarish hogi writer ki :snooty:
