    I loved the whimsical feel of this book! Abbas is endearing. The ending felt a little abrupt. Recommend.

    The atmosphere of the Arabian Gulf is palpable. The plot meanders a bit, making it hard to get invested. Still interesting.

    I had mixed feelings. The descriptions are great, but the story did not grab my attention. Still, it was a good read.

  5. Aniket Singh –

    Shamal Days is beautifully written, with vivid descriptions. Abbas’s journey is thought-provoking. A few parts dragged, but worth reading.

  6. Sagar Langyan –

    A charming read! Abbas is relatable, and the setting is unique. However, the plot felt a bit slow at times. Overall, a decent book.

  7. Ayush –

    While the writing is good, I struggled to connect with Abbas. The story lacked a certain spark. It was okay.

  8. Srishti Thukral –

    Shamal Days is a captivating exploration of life and longing. A must read!

    The setting is what makes this book stand out. The plot is a little too subtle. It felt too slow for my taste.

  10. Mohit Raghuwanshi –

    A unique perspective, but hard to enjoy due to the pacing. The book had some high points and some low points.

  11. Sourav Kumar Saw –

    The author paints a vivid picture of the Gulf. I felt the cultural differences and the heat! Excellent writing and story.

  12. Ansh Gupta –

    A delightful escape to a different world. Abbas’s internal struggles resonated. I really enjoyed it!

  13. Chetan Gambhir –

    Loved the cultural insight! The story unfolds gently, perhaps a little too gently. A good choice if you enjoy character-driven narratives.

  14. Pragati Bisht –

    This book offered a fascinating perspective on expatriate life. Some political references went over my head. Worth the read.

  15. Ananya –

    I enjoyed the glimpse into s Arabian Gulf life. The characters are interesting, but the story could have been more engaging. It’s a quick, easy read.

  16. Kumar Nilmani –

    A unique story with a memorable protagonist. The shamal winds are practically a character themselves! Slow pacing, but rewarding.
