The Seventh Cup is an absolutely enthralling piece of modern
fiction. Capturing the reader with its exciting and suspenseful story, the book
has a lot more to offer than just a 'well-crafted' mystery. In a crisp and
beautiful way, the author has crafted the story to help the readers understand
the connection between the Human Mind and Science and Religion.
The Seventh Cup has a fine and striking amalgamation of emotions as
well as sensible arrangement of incidents that lure the reader to believe that
everything in the universe happens because of a reason. By this simplistic
story, the author has made the readers understand the fact that when a person
desires something, the entire universe conspires to help that person realise
his dream. Interlinking of the Universe with Human Mind, the physical
realisation of the law of Universe, and the unfolding of transient world’s
knowledge stirring in the cosmos, is what forms the basis of the plot of the
Seventh Cup. The book’s excellent narration lures the reader into the
fascinating world comprised of believers and non-believers.
This book is inspired by Rhonda Byrne’s famous book, The Secret and
is a delightful yet knowledgeable piece of literature that forms the so called
section of ‘serious reading’. The story revolves around a sociopathic Avinash,
a drama student from Goa who upstages Veronica Schmith in a college dramatics
club. Striking the concept of mind transportation over a cup of coffee, Avinash
takes Verona into a deeper world full of surprises, but apparently she
perceives it as nothing more than a game. The exchange student enjoys Avinash’s
company and co-stars with him in his play put up by the Dramatics club. Verona
after sharing a Champaign and kiss with Avinash, flees back to Switzerland,
where her so-called boyfriend Kevin is waiting for her. Against this backdrop,
in Zurich, Switzerland, Avinash tries to give the finishing touches to his
story with the aid of his laptop, a notebook, a tightly gripped pen and
supposedly Verona. Exactly over the seventh cup of coffee, Avinash attempts to
complete the last chapter of a play script entitled In Search of Truth,
allegory whose central charachters- Man, Science, Religion-debate the age old
issues of their own place in the universe and their relationship to one
another.
Another part of the story revolves around a husband-wife team of
criminal detectives, Thomas and Sussane who are
assigned to investigate a variety of missing person cases, the most
interesting one being Avinash’s eventual report of the disappearance of one
Verona Schmidt. As Sussane comes to know Avinash and those closest to Verona,
the detective, still struggling with the recent death of her own grandfather,
finds herself becoming personally engrossed not only in the mysterious theory
of mind transportation but also in the clues she perceives in Avinash’s
incomplete manuscript. As the detectives move towards the case solution, the
readers are transported to a world of gothic guilt and ghastly gloom. The
author suddenly, but strategically, removes us from the civilized life of cafes
and campus settings to descend the spiral staircase into a creepy cellar, where
lie all the hidden secrets.
The book not only offers a good read but also compels the readers to
peep deeper into their own selves and the universe, to search their life's
answers. The Seventh Cup is a book that if kept on your book rack over the
years, will offer you something new, every time you read it.
