What readers are saying.
Early readers are still making their way through the book. Their words will land here as they arrive.
Read it in two sittings and cried through the second one.
Demo Reader 1 · Amazon review “The structure is what got me, everyone gets a turn to tell their own history, in scene, and by the time it all comes together in that one room you realise how carefully it was built from the very first page. I did not expect a debut novel to be this patient with its own reveal.
Demo Reader 2 · Goodreads review “Chitrangada is one of the best-written women I have read in Indian fiction this year.
Demo Reader 3 · Amazon review “Made me call my own chosen family after I finished it.
Demo Reader 4 “The dialogue never once felt like it was explaining itself to me, it just let the silences do the work. That restraint is rare.
Demo Reader 5 · Goodreads review “Karna as a character will stay with me for a long time.
Demo Reader 6 · Amazon review “Not what I expected going in. Heavier, and better, than the blurb prepares you for.
Demo Reader 7 “A genuinely moving take on found family, and one of the few books about karma that never once feels preachy about it. It earns every one of its emotional beats instead of announcing them.
Demo Reader 8 · Amazon review “Could not put it down.
Demo Reader 9 · Goodreads review “The twist in the final act completely recontextualises everything that came before it. Rare for a book to actually earn that.
Demo Reader 10 · Amazon reviewIf Karna and Chitra stayed with you
I wrote this book slower than I wanted to, because I wanted to get it right. If it made you feel something, a few honest lines from you would mean more to me than you know, and it would help the next reader find their way to this story too.
