  1. Manas Singh

    I was captivated by the descriptions of India, but Stella’s character felt a bit naive. The ending was somewhat predictable. Overall, an enjoyable, light read.

  2. Sarvesh Singh

    It’s a good book, but has some slow parts in the middle. Otherwise, I was engaged in the content!

  3. Oam Jagtap

    The concept was interesting, but the characters were unlikeable. Stella seems like a naive person!

  4. Sandat Sadanand Barve

    I really like historical fiction books, so I wanted to give this a chance. It’s good, but nothing crazy.

  5. Ishaan Garg

    I think it’s an okay read, but not something I would tell my friends about.

  6. Parvez Khalek

    It was hard to get into this book. I felt it was a little boring. Not recommended!

  9. Akshat Ruhela

    It’s a beautiful book with stunning imagery. There are some confusing moments, but this is an overall great read!

  10. Shlok Singh

    Perrin paints a vivid picture of Anglo-Indian society. I found the exploration of desire and duty compelling. A few parts dragged on longer than necessary.

    Stella was a relatable character in an unideal situation. I wanted to keep reading!

    An engaging story about a woman finding her way in a new world. I enjoyed the cultural insights and the romantic tension. Highly recommended!

  13. Jatin

    While the premise was interesting, I struggled to connect with Stella. The romance felt rushed. Not a bad book, but not great either.

  14. Mohit Bansal

    This book was not my favorite. It had some good parts but ultimately not for me.

  15. Anjali Agrawal

    I found Stella’s situation relatable. She is stuck between her duty and desire. I would recommend this book!

  16. Anwarul Hasan

    A decent read, providing a glimpse into the Raj. Stella’s internal conflict was well portrayed, though the pacing felt slow at times. Worth a read if you enjoy historical fiction.

    A perfect way to spend a rainy day. This book kept me occupied and invested!

    The setting is the best part of this book. The plot is okay, but some character decisions are questionable. A solid -star read for me.

  24. Ishant Pawar

    I was so excited to read this book, but it was a little disappointing. I felt like it was lacking a lot of substance!

  25. Khushi Dhoundeyal

    A fascinating look at the complexities of life during the Raj. The moral dilemmas faced by the characters kept me hooked.
