MY FIRST NOVEL





Originally ‘The Winning Story’ was written for National Novel Writing Month 2010. The story is set in two imaginary towns in Nagaland, North East India; Ivy hill, a small sleepy town and Timberland, a blooming commercial town. The story revolves around the nucleus of the society that is family. In a way, it explores all the different kinds of love that shape the lives of all the people in Eve’s story. It begins with a prologue, where Eve the protagonist of the novel gets herself all set for the competition, ‘My Winning Story Competition’. She unfolds the story spinning back to her decades of memories. The story unfolds a merry go round of emotions; revolving in the whole cycle of life- birth, childhood, youth, adult hood, love, heartbreaks, marriage, hardship, success, failure and dead. She takes her audience for an adventure of hope, second chance, trust, her Christian faith and everlasting love, making the listeners realise that there is but no greater story than one’s life itself..
