The Drop and the Glop

Sanjiv Saran
4.53/5 (57 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
This is a gripping drama of parallel lives and contrasting characters. A power-hungry politician and his intense love affair; a spy trapped on the wrong side; a shepherd girl molded by tragedy into an undercover infiltrator; a stunningly beautiful CIA agent; a teen hitchhiker from New Delhi who gets sucked into a high-altitude kidnapping. The tale is embedded with humor, the beauty of the Himalayas, and the awakening of questions about Divinity. The story is set against the India-Pakistan war in 1965 and the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971. However, it is neither a story about War nor Espionage. It is character-driven rather than plot-driven and explores multiple dimensions of human experience.

A reviewer has recently listed this book as the 1st among the top ten books published in India in 2022.

Other reviews:
"The Drop and the Glop is an engrossing novel that takes place in a part of the world in upheaval…. Sanjiv Saran fleshes out his characters so clearly that their dialogues read like you are actually listening to the voices of these characters right in front of you. It's a character-driven story that gives you a feeling of a first-hand experience. …. It is a sink-your-teeth-into type of novel" - Vincent Dublado, author and critic, USA.

"Sanjiv Saran has an eloquent writing style that brings this period of history to life … The insights given by the different perspectives of people who lived through it are fascinating. Each new character who adds their voice to the story makes it an even richer tapestry depicting a complex and nuanced time." – K.C. Finn, multi-award-winning author and critic, UK.

"Some books are an experience that can only be truly felt by reading them yourself because no words can really relay their magnificence. …Sanjiv Saran's writing is simple and yet feels so original… you will feel like every conversation is happening in real time, making you a part of the drama. I could easily visualize the world painted in the story…I was kept interested and turned pages eagerly to know more.…. Nikita Johri, book critic, India.

"…all the characters develop throughout the novel, but it is one coming-of-age to womanhood that has the most complex and diverse journey. …There is a lot to unpack in The Drop and the Glop by Sanjiv Saran …The action unfolds at a steady pace. I did not expect a fast-paced page-turner and would have been disappointed if the author cheapened the work in that way. Instead, the petals are coaxed open. … Saran doesn't shy away from the horror of war, but he also does not forget the levity of life." Asher Syed, book critic, USA.
