This book will make sure to give you a deeper understanding of the rural folks in a show and fictitious manner.
A Rural Coincidence is about a man named Sunderlal who is about to commit suicide but a lot of twists and turns take place. A simple man with simple needs doesn’t really have a very simple life. Later in the book, we also see the different turn of events in many other lives of the rural world.
The cover of the book is mesmerizing. The different hues of orange and red will definitely make you picture the entire story in a rural area. Though yes, a caricature of the village that is being talked about could enhance the entire imagination process. The title of the book is relevant to the content of the book because everything in this book seems to be a planned rural coincidence.
The language is lucid, easy going with easy words. The writing style is very appropriate to the whole theme of the book because of which any rural who just knows how to read a little can easily understand and relate with the story at many levels. It has been woven precisely but yes, you may have to read the book twice to decipher the entire message if you are not an avid reader.
The content is enriching. Why I say this is because the book just has 10 pages - an avid reader can read it within 10 minutes - yet it gives many messages to take away in the end. IT’s not just another short story you read on the go, it makes you think about how human nature, in general, twists and turns according to the environment.
I personally enjoyed the book. I finished it within 10-12 minutes after is arrival due to its beautiful cover and fortunately, I was not disappointed. I loved the feeling of earthly smell and images of matkas on the women’s hips that appeared in my head. So yes, I do recommend the book to the mad short story lovers.

This is a very simple story where the author had portrayed the Village life in the best way possible.
Poor farmer living in poverty, working extremely hard to meet his family's needs, ecstasy of the whole village when one or two of the villagers land a job in the nearby cities and obviously their sorrow and agony when they lose their hard earned money for wrong reasons.
But the best part is Debjeet has managed to give a very funny ending to the story.
Spoiler alert : Do watch out for the postmaster.

It’s a short story with the sweetness of humanity, good narration and a happy ending. If you are on a short journey then it’s a good book to read.
As the title suggests, its story of coincidence, reading it was like a message which makes you smile.
I won’t write much or I’ll exceed the books length itself and as you are reading a review I don’t want you to do much effort in knowing what the book is about.
It’s story of a family and a postman, by a coincidence or I say by the help of postman… How the life of someone changes… Is narrated.
At last one question for you, whether you read the book or not…
What will happen If we stop helping and caring for those who we don’t know ?
If you are sitting idle and want something to make you feel better…it’s a good choice

A Rural Coincidence is an exciting journey of a farmer, his family and the village postman.
When I started reading it, I had no clue what to expect from the story. But what came was a surprising story about the intricacies of the minds of the village people.
It was a fun short read. Though it had some grammatical errors but that does not deter the reader from enjoying the story.
I would recommend buying a Kindle edition of the book as I feel it would give more worth to the money spent than a physical book.
Happy Reading!!

Short, sweet, very concise, and funny ...
I love the ending, which brings out the story's perky side (the poppy seeds, the daughter's actual reason for being in town, and the postman's trip to the river side...)
I believe this story has all the potential to be expanded to a proper full novel...
