The Goa Gambit by Anurag Tripathi
The casinos of Goa are fascinating for those who live in faraway areas. Even I wanted to know about the games and people's lives. I have heard of a lot of drug intake in keeping, trafficking, gambling, and power games. So, to satisfy my quest, I picked up a book that is full of casino life and the power games involved to keep your white-collar status intact.
"The Goa Gambit" is an engaging and gripping read. The narrative hooked me from the beginning until the end. I was intrigued by each character's secrets and the adroit manner in which the author penned the narrative.
The story revolves around Anton, Jayesh, Pankaj and Ruby. Their lives have a deep and dark past that shaped their lives and they grew up as strong and heartless persons. The narrative takes the reader on a journey of scandals, deception, fake images,
Tripathi masterfully paints a vivid picture of the bustling casino scene in Goa, filled with power-hungry politicians, scandal-ridden celebrities, and the ordinary rich, all converging in a high-stakes environment.
I admired the way he depicts the miserable life of kathoeys, orphans, persons going abroad to earn money for their family and mind games played by politicians to earn power and money.
Overall, a commendable read.
