  1. Khanak Bajpai –

    While the writing style is beautiful, I found the story a bit slow and uneventful. Not my favorite, but still a worthwhile read.

  2. Risav Mondal –

    A quick, impactful read that highlights the plight of farmers. Some parts felt a bit rushed, but the core message is powerful.

  3. Gurleen Kaur –

    Sorrow of the Snows is a moving novella. Ashk paints a vivid picture of rural India and the hardships faced by farmers. The ending left me feeling a bit empty.

  4. Himanshu –

    A short but powerful story. The descriptions of the Himalayas are beautiful, but the poverty is heartbreaking. Hasandeen’s struggle is very relatable.

  5. Jay Dattatraya Tilekar –

    The author does an excellent job of portraying the struggles of the working class. A bit depressing, but important.

  6. Tirthabrata Dutta –

    This book is a powerful reminder of human resilience. Ashk’s writing is evocative. Prepare for an emotional journey.

  7. Bhavy Bhardwaj –

    I enjoyed learning about a different culture and time period. The characters were well-developed, and the story kept me engaged.

  8. Harsha Nimmakayala –

    An okay read. It wasn’t exactly what I expected, and the plot was a little thin. The setting was well-described, though.

  9. Kushagre Singh –

    A good read overall. It’s a bit slow-paced but worth it for the insights into the lives of poor farmers.

  10. Anik Nayek –

    This book is beautifully written and thought-provoking. Hasandeen’s resilience in the face of adversity is inspiring. Highly recommended.
