description Sujata Massey catches a rupture from her popular Rei Shimura mystery series and puts pen to paper. The Sleeping Dictionary (published as City of Palaces in India)—a rambling, Victorian era motivated novel; set between 1925 and the end of World War II. The Sleeping Dictionary provides a leaving for the novelist, whose mysteries have pinned to themselves practically every medal in the genre. Sujata Massey, has treaded self-assuredly into the dominion of historical fiction out of her thriller approach to write quite a new thriller while paying attention to history. The Sleeping Dictionary exhales nuovo lease of life into both the bromidic plots of a stray in opposition to the planet, and the forever and a day trendy coming-of-age account by handling curious backdrops and avant-garde confronts.
