  1. Dhroopad Verma

    An amazing book! The author clearly has a deep understanding of the subject matter. The storytelling is superb. One of the best books i have read in years!

  2. Sumit Gupta

    While informative, I felt the book lacked emotional depth. I didn’t connect with the characters as much as I hoped.

  3. Drishti Singh

    The book is very well-researched, but the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming. A good resource, but not a light read.

  4. Anuj Sahu

    A powerful and moving account! I was deeply affected by the stories of the people involved. This book will stay with me for a long time.

  5. Nipun Mehrotra

    A good historical account, but nothing particularly groundbreaking. It covers the basics well, but doesn’t delve too deep.

  6. Himanshu Gupta

    A decent read, but I’ve encountered more gripping accounts of this period. Still, it offers a valuable perspective on the British Raj’s end.

  7. Navneet Kumar

    A worthwhile read for anyone wanting to understand the complexities of India’s independence. Could have used more maps, though.

  8. Abhishek Gautam

    Excellent book! Von Tunzelmann brings history to life. The research is impeccable, and the story is captivating. A must-read for anyone interested in Indian history.

  9. Prabhu Mehrotra

    I enjoyed the book and appreciate the author’s work. However, at times it felt like it dragged, especially in the middle portion. Good, not great.

  10. Ishika Sharma

    Indian Summer provides a good overview, but I felt it lacked a personal touch. The historical details are solid, but the narrative could have been more compelling.

  11. Sarbjeet Singh Gandhi

    A bit dry at times, but ultimately a very informative book. I learned a lot about the political machinations surrounding India’s independence.

  12. Rudransh Verma

    A detailed look at a complex period. Tunzelmann’s writing is engaging, but sometimes too focused on the political elite. Overall, a worthwhile read.

  13. Advaita Parmar

    This book is phenomenal. The detailed research and engaging writing style made this a joy to read!

  14. Rahul Kumar Singh

    I had high hopes, but the book didn’t fully deliver. A bit bland and uninspired in its presentation of facts.

  15. Yashwant Suman

    Readable and informative. However, it sometimes got bogged down in details. I’ve read better books on the subject.

  16. Rishabh Sonker

    I appreciated the detailed analysis, but the book could have benefited from a more engaging narrative style. Decent book to read.

  17. Tushar Sharma

    Exceptional! A comprehensive and insightful analysis of India’s partition. The author’s research is impeccable. This book is a treasure.

    Absolutely brilliant! A must-read for anyone interested in the history of India and the British Empire. I could not put this book down. Highly recommend!

  20. Panchal Sakshi Ramesh

    Indian Summer exceeded my expectations. It’s a balanced and insightful portrayal of India’s partition. Couldn’t put it down!

  21. Aditya U Upadhyay

    A balanced and well-researched account. I recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about this critical period in history.

  22. Gulshan Kumar Mahto

    A good book, though not as captivating as other histories I’ve read. Still, worth the time for its thoroughness.

    Compelling and informative! Von Tunzelmann’s writing is superb, offering a fresh perspective on a well-known historical event. Amazing!
