Portland Book Review USA & BookGeeks have rated this as 3.5* out of 5*
This novel, through set in a land on the opposite side of the globe and in a culture often deemed downright alien, turns out to have a surprisingly relatable story in the growth and struggles of the young Bengali woman Renuka Shekhar. - Portland Book Reiew, USA
Mohanty's debut novel tells the life story of a female born in India during the British occupation, following her to modern times while chronicling her struggles against male-dominated Indian culture... The author knows Indian customs and traditions and writes with authority about both. "Kirkus Reviews, USA
There are many things to look for in the book... Almost all characters are very well developed and well placed. The suspense and mystery created in the start runs well up to mid book...The book starts with a bang...Her writing style is interesting and impressive which makes her an author to watch out for and I will keenly look forward to reading her next work. - Metro India
I bless Debajani on her maiden venture. This young lady today has opened eyes of many. She has the compassion as well as the fire of a worthy writer. Through her work she has dreamed of a better and safer world for all females. Through her work she has challenged Almighty God himself and his creation. Her compassion, her fearless spirit, reminds me of my early days - Padmashri & Gyanapitha awardee Dr Pratibha Ray
The effort put into research is commendable and the conceptualisation of the story is interesting - The Good Book Corner
