The Chronicler of the Hooghly was recently reviewed by the forum ‘Deepan’s Bookshelf.
In it, Deepan Maitra writes:”……Through author Shakti Ghosal’s stories, I was able to travel once again to the history of this city, thriving and flourishing in new colours while still preserving the vintage hues of the age gone by.
‘The Chronicler of the Hooghly’ is a book that has deftly stayed away from the sparks of bewilderment or the colourful drama of intentional complexities. Different from putting forward a gaudy show of bright hues, the writing style preserves the beauty of simple colours, that interlink the heritage with commonality. The colours are a bit subdued and faded, but they carry lineage and ancestry.
The book houses stories that attempt to bridge the gap between today and yesterday. There remains always a linkage to the past, which makes the constructs in the book fascinating and lively. This kind of bridging not only serves as a vehicle to bring forth the contrast between the ages spoken about but also makes us wonder how several nuances remain just the same time after time…….”
