    A powerful and poignant exploration of loss and heritage. I was deeply moved by the stories of the Kerala Jews.

    An important book that deserves to be read widely. It’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

  4. Utkarsh Kumar –

    Fernandes beautifully captures the essence of a fading culture. A must-read for anyone interested in Jewish history and cultural preservation.

  5. Mohammed Fayiz Rahman M P –

    While the subject matter is fascinating, the book could have benefited from better editing. Some sections felt rushed.

  6. Kaushal Kishor –

    An eye-opening account of a unique Jewish community. I was saddened to learn of their decline, but grateful for this record.

  7. Radhika Sharma –

    The book opened my eyes to a community I knew nothing about. A bit slow in places, but overall a moving and informative experience.

  8. Anurag Jangir –

    The book’s strength lies in its intimate portraits of the community members. However, I found the historical context lacking.

  9. Khyati Bhardwaj –

    A fascinating glimpse into a disappearing world. Fernandes writes with empathy, though I wished for more depth in certain areas. Still, a worthwhile read.

  10. Amarjeet Kumar –

    While informative, the book felt a bit disjointed. The constant switching between communities made it hard to follow at times.

    Informative, but the writing style wasn’t my favorite. I was hoping for a bit more emotion, given the subject matter.

  12. Rahul Bairwa –

    The personal anecdotes made the book truly memorable. I felt a deep connection to the people and their stories.

  13. Chayan Bit –

    I appreciated learning about the Kerala Jews, but the writing felt a little dry at times. The historical details were interesting, though.

  14. Om Satish Pingle –

    A valuable contribution to Jewish history. The book sheds light on a little-known community and their struggles.

  15. Saksham Khemka –

    I found the book to be a bit repetitive, especially regarding the feud between the Black and White Jews. Still, an important story.

  16. Ravi Verma –

    Excellent research and a compelling narrative. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in diaspora studies.

  17. Himanshu Chodavadiya –

    Fernandes’ writing is evocative and engaging. She brings the story of the Kerala Jews to life with great sensitivity.
