Author: Nikesh Shukla
Mukesh who has just moved from Kenya to Keighley, was expecting fame, the Rolling Stones and a nice girl, till he might not have found Keith Richards, but he did find the girl. Neha who is dying of Lung cancer, her brother is an unfunny comedian and her idiot father is a first-generation immigrant who moved to Keighley of all places. Rakesh is grieving. He lost his mother and his sister to the same illness, and his career as a comedian is flat-lining. Three different generation are stuggeling to find a meaning of life which make sense. Will they ever reach towards their purpose?
Nikesh Shukla’s third novel, The One Who Wrote Destiny promises to be Shukla’s ‘most ambitious’ novel to date which is based in part on true stories from Shukla’s family history. It charts three generations from the 1960s to the present day, and moves from Kenya to Keighley to London, Edinburgh and New York and back to Kenya.
