“Life Behind The Veil” is a gripping story that is very difficult to fix as a novel or an autography. The story grapples with the life of a young man and the immediate environment which he found himself ie the Royal Family with all of its paraphernalia. Some astonishing philosophical propositions shaped the life style of the author to such an extent that the title fits exactly the life lived by many royal families in the world. This life is not extolled and neither is it condemned. The listener is left to deduce his/her own concepts and understand what it takes to belong to or be a part of the royalty.
The flux of enthusiasm and love of the apparent affluence of royalty led the young man into going deep into himself and discovering his purpose in life. And what is this purpose? It is left in an artistic manner and interpretation for the listener to discover it as an individual.
This book is very appealing to both the intellectual and literary minded listeners. One does not need very obtuse knowledge to enjoy the substance of internal conflicts within the being of the narrator. The narrator immersed himself in the first person narrative and became omniscient and omnipresent in all the activities within the palace and the community. He is very versatile and adept in meandering through reality and fiction and it becomes difficult to fix where reality begins and where his imagination takes over. The verisimilitude between the two versions of writing appeals more to the sensuality of the listener rather than the intellectual aspects. But both are so well mixed to portray a life that is full of complexities and simplicity conjoined to produce a work of art.
Here you find the frustration of a young man who thought he had left his many demons behind to find a calming and suiting life abroad only to meet with a more fiercer demons of Western societies–the demons of none inclusiveness, rejections and unacceptability.
