Review
Have to come in terms with the fact that Only those with
childhood still in them, would enjoy this book. How can such a beautiful
language even exist?- That was my initial reaction to this. Ms. Roy demands
such strong emotion from her readers that it makes you really wonder if you
were an invisible being lingering around when the lives of the characters
unfold in front of you. It literally serenades you, making you believe that
these characters, really, yes, do exist. However, it your imagination that tells
you that they are real. i wish she wrote more fiction. touching more lives with
each of her words. This book has made me imagine, cry, ponder, chuckle, frown
brought in goosebumps and contemplate in many ways like no book has ever done
before. Vividly. Unashamed. The best part being that you imagine the characters
living in front of you. To get hold of that small part is another thing. True,
childhood lives only if you water it through your life. --Gayatri Nair on Jun

This book is the best pick for a broad and open minded person.. Tells you how "Love" is always associated with sadness, how women are made scape goats for everything that happens, how a person's childhood experiences affect his/her perspectives and whole life.. The book has less to tell and lot to infer. So unleash ur minds open and then start reading the book... --Krithika Jayaraaman on Feb 17, 2012
Arundhati is a poetess, an artist who spins munificence with the ordinary. Her story - a part biography is like fine music to even an untrained ear. She's one writer that I admire mostly because her words tell us a story in visuals. You feel the pain, the struggle, the sly humor and the God she cherishes in small things... --Aakarsh Yardi on Jun 10, 2012
