RASHMI NARZARY
Sahitya Akademi Awardee for English Children’s literature, 2016 for her book “His Share of Sky”, Rashmi Narzary is an author, Creative Writing Mentor, Book Reviewer and Independent Editor. She also dabbles in translation, having worked with Late Dr. Bhabendra Nath Saikia’s award winning Assamese works.
A recipient of the ‘PRAG PRERONA AWARDS, 2020’ for her work towards literature, in recent times she had been committed to creative writing workshops as a mentor for

3. Katha Utsav (East Zone) 2017
.....among other workshops
Presently, she is also the Joint Secretary of the North East Writers’ Forum.
A graduation in Economics and a post graduation in Human Resource Management, could not dampen her passion for writing. Thus was published WINGS, her first book, in the year 2005, which is a collection of short stories. Looking Beyond, her second book, was released in 2006.
His Share of Sky (2012) is her third, followed by Mosaic, a collection of short stories. 'BLOODSTONE, Legend of the Last Engraving', is her debut novel and the latest work.
However...
....given her way, she'd rather be introduced as the maker of her boisterously happy home of two grown-up children, three pets, all dogs, and a whole, large flock of doves, house sparrows, swallows and pigeons, with a couple of owls recently joining the merry hearth and a large beehive on an Ashoka tree right outside her study in Guwahati. These she manages with a wee bit of help from her husband Hemanta, a former bureaucrat .
She lives in Guwahati with her husband, daughter Sandie and son Jerry.

As I started reading this book, from the very first para, I could see a Satyajit Ray type film.
That impression never left me throughout this gentle juggernaut of a novel, as it rolls to its inevitable tragic conclusion, which left me emotionally cleansed and at the same time lifted up by a plenitude of questions and "What if"s - the total effect of which is surprisingly inspiring.
