an interesting old man selling used books in Nehru place, Delhi recomnded this book from a massive pile..Come to think of it he wasnt really selling the books but trying to disseminate a message for the love of stories close to him. A moving story set in Himalayas. loved reading it.

Splendid narration

[Corina Kornelias]

love it.............

Most sentences needed to be read twice! Subtle, full of figurative allusions, entendres and such. Characters are captivating.

Picked this gem from the DCMS library in CR Park.The narration in this book is so good at places that it's hard to believe that such means of relaying communication exists. Throughout the book all the characters felt relatable, real and believable. The descriptions of Drummondgunj were so realistic that it was hard to acknowledge and accept those. I am floored even though I personally didn't enjoy how the story was concluded. I can't recommend this enough. I. Allen Sealy, take a bow!

A year spent in an old Dehradun hotel. The backdrop - Uttarakhand agitation. Sister Ritu, Jed, Brij, mingle and create a story but barely so. Beautiful description of weather, a moving last scene, but not much else.

[Praveen Mathew]

There is something to be said about the language, it's flowery at times, but abruptly short to the point, it's like reading a sentence and having to stop suddenly. Made sense, but not to my liking, read around 100 pages, but nothing interesting was happening, so giving up.

A freind gave me this book on my birthday.... there is something uneasy about it but it still is a good read

[Ravinder]

Very Good.

[Salini]

I loved the evocative descriptions and the novel way in which he breathes life into the most inane of things. Worth the read.
