Add to basketGet ready to be whisked on an exciting escapade where you will encounter colourful characters across a spectrum of the good, the glittery and the greasy; embark on an epe construction adventure taken on by a novice husband and wife duo; and, then to keep you on the edge of your seat, a thrilling legal drama involving a high profile building demolition!
A Tale of Two Homes is the perfect Sunday afternoon read - attention-grabbing and addictive - full of witty humour and substance. Our urological cancer surgeon-turned-author/narrator masterfully intertwines fact and fiction in this comic rendition of home construction and home preservation.
Never a dull moment from start to finish, this page-turner will have you jumping between the chaos and corruption of big city, Mumbai, and the cool, slow-paced, laissez-faire way of life in the Nilgiris District of southern India. This comic debut novel by V. Srinivas offers an engaging plot line with exciting twists and turns all staged in a very atmospheric setting. Who needs fiction when reality can provide such delicious escapism?

I did finish the book in record time!
I found that it was very easy reading. It was at times very amusing but also informative in a clear way.
The mix of RRR and RN were well chosen, sometimes humorous and always with precision.
My opinion was : funny, clear and not too drawn out
Dr.Thilak, Ophthalmologist
Got hooked- extremely interesting and well written- I'm a fast reader- so I finished fast. I promise to buy several copies when it is published.
Ms. Cama, Advertising consultant
It’s a good documentation of how you went about building Raven’s Nest. Nice light style, easy to read and I liked the back and forths...In terms of balance there is much more of Raven’s nest and not so much RRR which I’m perfectly ok with.
Mr Seshadri, MA , LLB, Retd,
At last I was able to read your interesting book. It is very informative and entertaining as I am aware of the RRR story from other sources. It made good reading.
Dr. Namrata MPH (Harvard), a Dr doing NGO work in India
I really enjoyed reading your book. It's not a book only on house building but on relationships. Most importantly, relationship from a successful man's perspective. The humour is the USP of the book. I can guarantee the book will sell and will have readers all across age groups.
I would give this a thumbs up and thank you for sharing your work. I would love to get an autographed copy and pre-order the book
