Otherworldly Indian Novel Spawning Hit TV Series on Four Continents Now Comes to America

India's first "pop" novel, November Rain by Al Raines is a supernatural love story about calling back a loved one from the beyond.

Mumbai, India (PRWEB) September 27, 2007 -- November Rain by Al Raines is a new novel about how magic infuses everyday life, even during the most difficult times. Based on the author's own experience and on a smash Indian television series, November Rain dramatically explores karma, life after death, and spirit communication.

Does love ever die? Popular and prolific Indian writers Abhigyan and Mrinal Jha, writing under the name Al Raines, know that it does not. Former atheists, they attended a séance with a grieving friend and found their beliefs changed forever. From their subsequent experiences, the hit novel, November Rain, was born.

November Rain was the first Indian-English novel to become a primetime TV series, Tum Bin Jaoon Kahan. Running for over 300 episodes, it was broadcast on four continents and watched by 20 million people per episode.

In gorgeous, fluid prose, Raines explores the lives of four close college friends. Two of these chums, Sanders and Aria, are in love, but when Aria dies, Sanders' grief and guilt is overwhelming. But when he reconnects with her at a séance, he promises her that he will wait for her to be reborn and they will finally marry. Will these two refind each other? Or will the price they must pay be too great for even two lifetimes? A dazzling tale, November Rain is a thought-provoking exploration of undying love, karma, and the supernatural.
