  1. Sahitya Narvariya –

    A thought-provoking novel that explores themes of displacement and belonging. The writing is excellent, but the story can be a bit depressing. It felt a little too heavy.

  2. Pushpam Raj –

    A moving story, the descriptions transported me to another time and place. This is one of the best books I have read this year.

  3. Shiwangi –

    Desai’s prose is lyrical, and she paints a beautiful portrait of Bombay. A bit slow in parts, but ultimately a rewarding read. I loved the historical setting.

  4. Rohit Kumar –

    A beautifully written story of a man out of place. The descriptions are vivid, but the plot felt a little slow at times. Overall, a worthwhile read.

    A well-written novel with a compelling protagonist. The pacing could have been better, but the story stayed with me long after I finished reading. Loved the world-building.

  8. Anuksha Roy –

    I loved the historical context and the exploration of identity. However, the pacing was uneven, and I wish there had been more character development. A decent one-time read.

    An interesting look at Bombay through the eyes of a foreigner. Some parts were fascinating, while others dragged. I am still figuring out if I enjoyed the reading experience or not.

    Baumgartner’s Bombay is a powerful and moving novel. The characters are well-developed, and the story is both heartbreaking and hopeful. It’s a must-read!
