  1. Sidharth Magoo –

    I struggled to connect with Raji. The historical context was interesting, but the characters felt flat.

  2. Vashu Katiyar –

    Amazing book! I loved every moment reading it. Very well written and interesting.

  3. Nishant Khanal –

    A decent read, but I was hoping for more action and suspense. Raji’s internal struggles were interesting, but the plot felt a bit stagnant.

  4. Parvez Khalek –

    The book was good but felt a little too focused on setting the scene and not enough on plot development.

  5. Prateek Popli –

    This book transported me to another time and place. The author’s attention to detail is remarkable. Raji’s resilience is inspiring.

  6. Pallavi Singh Rana –

    Great coming-of-age story! I couldn’t put the book down. A must read!

  7. Hardik Sharma –

    Krishnakumar vividly portrays the atmosphere of wartime India. Raji’s character is relatable, but the historical context sometimes overshadows her personal story.

  8. Rahul Singh –

    I didn’t like it so much. It felt like a documentary than a fiction. I would not read it again.

  9. Sujeet Kumar –

    I found the book quite slow-paced. The writing style is a bit too descriptive for me but it is still a okay read.

  10. Chaitanya –

    I enjoyed learning about this period of history through Raji’s eyes. The descriptions of Manikoil are enchanting. A lovely, thought-provoking book.

  11. Yashwin Mehtani –

    Good story, but the ending felt rushed. Would have appreciated a bit more resolution.

  12. Abhinav Pratap Singh –

    A beautifully written story that captures the essence of Madras. Raji’s journey is compelling, though I found the pacing a bit slow at times. Overall, a worthwhile read.

  13. Shruti Rathi –

    I really enjoyed it. I found it to be well-written, engaging, and informative about a time period I was unfamiliar with.

  14. Nikhilesh –

    An adequate book. Not too good, not too bad. I did not like the plot so much. The characters were great.

  15. Nehal Jain –

    A captivating story of resilience and hope amidst turmoil. Krishnakumar’s writing is evocative and immersive. Highly recommend!

  16. Manvendra Pratap Singh –

    A solid historical fiction. I loved how the author weave a personal story with real event. Would recommend.
