BookChums Book Review - Airman By Eoin Colfer

Conor Broekhart was born to fly. It is the 1890s, and Conor and his family live on the sovereign Saltee Islands, off the Irish coast. Conor spends his days studying the science of flight with his tutor and exploring the castle with the king’s daughter, Princess Isabella.  But the boy’s idyllic life changes forever the day he discovers a deadly conspiracy against the king. When Conor intervenes, he is branded a traitor and thrown into jail on the prison island of Little Saltee. There, he has to fight for his life, as he and the other prisoners are forced to mine for diamonds in inhumane conditions. There is only one way to escape Little Saltee, and that is to fly. So Conor passes the solitary months by scratching drawings of flying machines into the prison walls. The months turn into years, but eventually the day comes when Conor must find the courage to trust his revolutionary designs and take to the skies.

Book Review - Some Of The Whole by Abhijit Bhattacharya

Now here’s something I’ve loved – a unique offering from a new-age writer.
Some Of The Whole by Abhijit Bhattacharya comprises ten short stories about different people at the airport lounge, awaiting their flight. Their present situation marks the beginning of the flashback that the author seamlessly draws you into and ends each tale with a twist that is sure to leave you gaping. And how! Very contemporary in approach, the chapters are named after popular songs – another reason that makes you turn the pages and read ahead.

An Audience with Anuja

Advertising, writing books, being a family person, Anuja Chauhan has been there, done that, and with much elan and grace. We get talking to the lovely lady to see what makes her tick.


Before we get down to writing, tell us something about your career in copywriting at JWT.

I loved it! It never felt like working...and to think I drifted into it completely randomly! I can't imagine any other career where I could've worked so happily and for so long...It was only when you got more senior and it becomes more about 'managing' and meetings and being politically correct than about the actual writing that things began to suck a litte...the pure creative side was always a total blast.
