Reviews
"Mulay's novel shows a world in which people, especially women, are put under immense social pressure to conform, to stay quiet, to follow. The characters' choices involve impossible decisions about who they really want to be, and who they want to be seen as: "And isn't this finally about Aparna, the woman? Not Aparna, the mother or Aparna, the wife." Through Aparna, Hari, and their daughters, Mulay gives us a cast of brave characters, and an insight into the society of contemporary India - a secular State with a right-wing religious party in government." - Kenzie Millar, The Crack Magazine
