The true mark of an artist is to be able to find a reflection of the contemporary issues in their work. Indranil Roy’s “Strangers She Never Met” may not give any hints or clues by the title but the plot focusses on delicate and critical issues that confront the human society at present.
The author keeps the plot simple and focussed and at the same time touches upon issues of family, trust, present day people dangerous issue of terrorism. As the author reveals in the introduction regrading the story taking place on the basis of his reading in the newspapers, his artistic ability shows itself vividly in the manner he expresses his thoughts.
This book may belong to the genre of thriller but has much more to offer due to the variety of themes it addresses and the different ideas Roy attempts to raise in lesser words.
