With this diverse collection of short stories, Manik Bal continues to explore the bizarre in the mundane, and the mundane in the bizarre. Exploring seemingly ordinary characters as a caretaker of a shared accommodation, a construction supervisor, and an out of job stay at home husband, every story weaves a heady cocktail of ordinary and unbelievable. The characters cheat each other with glee, but also display loyalty, even at a possible cost of their lives. The narrative shows the danger of the destructive ire of a spurned partner, yet shows the power of silent, long term marital love. The book is dedicated to the city of Mumbai, or Bombay as it was called. Several stories take place when the city was called Bombay, and the internet and cell phone were not very common. "Her Revenge, and Other Stories from Bombay" joins the previous three books in the series Odd Tales From Bombay and Bangalore. Please read the other books if you like this one. Each one tries to be unique while sharing the same DNA. Ride the rollercoaster and don't forget to switch off the lights when you fall asleep.
