⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
At 77, Mr Niyogi faces the immense challenges of advanced Parkinson’s disease. Amid the physical and mental toll, he grapples with a profound question: does life still hold a purpose for him? Refusing to succumb to decline, he seizes the opportunity to leave a meaningful legacy.
The story unfolds as news breaks of a young man stranded on a remote island cut off from all help. This haunting scenario awakens a fierce determination in Mr Niyogi to make a difference.
Despite his frailty, he draws upon his expertise as an auditor to uncover fraudulent activities within his parent company. His bold plan to recover significant losses and fund the boy’s rescue mission is a testament to his ingenuity and unyielding resolve.
This is a quiet yet moving book, offering an authentic portrayal of how Parkinson’s affects not only the sufferer’s body and mental health but also their loved ones. Through Mr Niyogi’s struggles, the reader witnesses his transformation from a capable provider to someone reliant on the support of others, all while maintaining his sharp mind and compassion.
The book’s conclusion is both surprising and deeply poignant. While one part of the story ends predictably, S.N. Rao delivers an emotional twist that left me feeling both heartbroken and proud. The exploration of illness, ageing, and resilience is portrayed with sensitivity, offering a true-to-life representation of the challenges faced by those living with Parkinson’s.
Short but impactful, Mr Niyogi’s Last Audit is a powerful reflection on ageing, dignity, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. With its blend of emotional depth and thought-provoking themes, this book is a compelling addition to any reader’s list. Perfect for those seeking a meaningful and heartfelt story that lingers long after the final page.
I brought this book with me while travelling in Kuala Lumpur, and it proved to be a compelling and memorable read during my journey.
