The Coincidence Plot

Once there was a man who believed, like the philosopher Spinoza, that all things happen for a reason. Once there was a woman who found the idea nonsensical, even repulsive. They met.

Anil Menon’s novel The Coincidence Plot weaves the tale through multiple cities, circumstances and lives.
