Till date, there have been many novels published on the serene and beautiful background of Goa. Yet, this is the first of its type describing the contemporary life in Goa. We come across people from various religion, creed and race speaking various languages and following vivid cultures. Their struggles, conflicts, emotions, feelings, lawful and unlawful relations, legitimate and illegitimate children, all have been well portrayed. The style embraced by the author itself is proof enough of her literary skills. It also sheds light on the depth of her knowledge, understanding capabilities and innovativeness. Her multi-faceted nature has given a tender touch to it as well. This novel has potentials enough to leave the readers in an uneasy state of mind. निसर्गरम्य गोव्याच्या पार्श्वभूमीवर आजवर अनेकानेक कादंबऱ्या प्रसिद्ध झालेल्या आहेत; परंतु गोव्यातील समकालीन समूह-जीवनाचं यथायोग्य चित्रण करणारी ही पहिलीच कादंबरी आहे.भाषा, वंश, धर्म, चालीरीतींनी आणि भिन्न जीवनशैलींनी बद्ध अशा अनेकानेक व्यक्ती तुम्हांला या कादंबरीत भेटतात. त्यांचे आपापसांतील संबंध, संघर्ष, त्यांचे भावना-विचारांचे कल्लोळ, त्यांच्यांतील विहित-अविहित नाती, औरस-अनौरस संबंध यांचं सिद्धहस्त लेखणीनं केलेलं चित्रण पाहून वाचक केवळ स्तिमित होईल.या कादंबरीचं उल्लेखनीय वैशिष्ट्य तिचा आकृतिबंध हे आहे.
