[Vikas Datta · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wonderful book with a very realistic plot that shows some less than savoury aspects of the Indian freedom struggle as well as other shortcomings of society that unfortunately persist to the present day. The depictions of the Garhwal Himalayas are breath-takingly lyrical.
