Micro review: 'More Things in Heaven and Earth' by Kiran Manral

Highlights











Popular Indian author Kiran Manral is known for writing books in various genres - from parenting to spine-chilling thrillers. Her new book 'More Things in Heaven and Earth' was released in April 2021 and it's a gripping story of love, obsession, and betrayal.

Kamla Malik is devastated; her husband Nihar dies unexpectedly due to a heart attack in Goa. In search of some closure, Kamla tries mediums and even Ouija boards to make a contact with her dead husband only to say a final goodbye to him. But does she want him back from the world that he inhabits now? Or worse, will he leave her alone when she finds him? Meanwhile, her doctors believe she is hallucinating and living far from reality. At the same time, her old, eccentric, and ailing aunt invites her to meet her in her villa in Goa. In search of a change of place, Kamla agrees and there she meets her maternal aunt's stepson, Victor. Soon, Victor claims his stake over the crumbling villa and on Kamla. But while Kamla knows that Victor is a part of her present, she is still haunted by Nihar.

The story deals with the themes of love, death, and grief and it's a captivating read. Kiran Manral's inevitable style and rich narrative hook the reader till the very end of the story.
