My views -

Faith's Eternal Sunshine by Aashish Gupta, I have picked this novel to read after reading the title for very first time I find that somewhat catchy or attractive which also have some in-depth meaning behind those three words. In add to that the reviews of author's first book were so good, a backdrop reason.

This novel is about the two friends Manu and Manjeri who travels via boat to Matsya island, the island which manu believes as God's place from there story travels to their past and the friendly conversation of their current life which started to turns into a heated argument where Manjeri doesn't believes in the existence and faith over god. Henceforth Manu making a deal of caging her inside a cell by telling her to find a key of it or else he will open it himself. From that incident in an year of time she understands why manu did like that and existence, faith over god.

The author goes apart from the religion without specifying an particular religion in the conversations and the starting was a bit slow than the remaining parts which gave initial thoughts to read further. The narration and characterization was simple without much characters in it.

Overall, Faith's Eternal Sunshine was a spiritual layered along with a physiological thriller. Only thing I felt is that story is story can be bit elaborated or looks like finished quickly.
