Friendship, fate, and a touch of the mystical—this book is an unexpected, thought-provoking ride.
Bogey Bonhomie blends history, adventure, and reincarnation into a uniquely layered story that moves seamlessly across time. It begins in 1961 South Goa, just as the Portuguese are losing their grip, and drops us into the lives of two inseparable childhood friends, Ray and Roy. Amid political tension and personal turmoil, their youthful curiosity leads them into an ambitious experiment with wind surfing, danger on Monkey Island, survival on Palolem beach, and a secret that will echo far beyond their lifetimes.
Years later, their spirits return; reborn as five schoolboys in Bombay: Kuber, Yug, Prahlad, Siddharth, and Som. What follows is a beautifully chaotic tale of destiny, friendship, and the unexplainable ties that bind souls across lifetimes. From a memorable picnic in Matheran to the slow formation of a “Pentagon of bonhomie,” the story explores how these boys’ lives are mysteriously entangled in ways they don’t yet understand.
The plot deepens when a buried Portuguese treasure, once connected to Ray and Roy, resurfaces—raising the question: is it a blessing, or a curse? As misunderstandings grow and each friend questions the others, the story cleverly plays with the concept of the “bogey”, the unseen danger, the hidden truth, the karmic shadow.
What makes this book stand out are the illustrations sprinkled throughout. They aren’t just decorative; they add emotional weight and provoke reflection, making you pause and think about the themes of friendship, fate, and second chances.
Bogey Bonhomie is a creative, multi-layered tale that mixes nostalgia, mystery, and philosophy with a strong dose of imagination. If you enjoy stories about reincarnation, long-standing friendships, and secrets that span generations, this one will keep you hooked till the end.- ASIN : B0DFW6W678
