Late Shivani was a great hindi writer. My mother has all of her collection. I read only a few in which Vishkanya is my favorite. Could never ever imagine about women in these roles or reality as Shivani wrote.

Woah a story with in a story and a promise for the original story with in the story not to be ever written! One thing about Shivani is that she forces the reader to complete the story and it is too difficult to keep the book down once you start.

Heartstoppingly brilliant read.
This was my first book by Shivaniji at the age of 14. Since then, I have read her entire work every single year along with the new books I read.
None of the stories ever lose their freshness or magic
