A Glance at the Unknown

A Spiritual Thriller

For: Anyone who has ever wondered why life unfolds the way it does — and where the answers to life’s deepest questions come from

A family vacation to Cambodia sparked the story of five characters whose lives are shaped by forces they cannot see or explain. Why was life being cruel to them? What was unknown to them? This award-winning debut novel — which earned Dr Sangeeta recognition as one of the 100 Inspiring Authors of India — is a reminder that sometimes the most profound answers come from the most unexpected places.

✦ A gripping narrative weaving mystery, spirituality, and human experience across five interconnected lives

✦ Award-winning debut — recognised among 100 Inspiring Authors of India

✦ A thought-provoking read that stays with you long after the final page

What Readers Say –

“For a first novel, this was a surprise. Typically interested in fresh voices, I read this book without expectation. It turned out to be a page-turner, and I finished the book over a short flight. Sangeeta carries the story along with aplomb in several threads at once, connects them all seamlessly, and continues onto the major theme of her story very clearly. Once you get to the second half of the book, you start to realise where the first part has led, and then you cannot put the book down until you finish. I want to visit the places Sangeeta so eloquently describes, I want to meet the people that she has created. This is perfect for travellers - short, gripping, and enjoyable. I recommend this wholeheartedly. Now, can't wait for Sangeeta to pen her next.”

Rajesh Parthasarathy CEO, Mentis Inc

“It brings drama, modern ancient city jungle all together, yes, at the end we all need to find the right answers for inner peace and solace...be true souls in this world. Maiden attempt by the author, you should read to understand how karma is linked to one's soul...the fictional story is gripping, and you would want to not let go till you finish.”
