  1. Ishika Arya

    Excellent exploration of Lispector’s spiritual journey. It deepened my appreciation for her work. Highly recommend!

  2. Sambhav

    I was hoping for more insights into her writing process, but it was mostly biographical. Still, interesting to learn about her background.

  3. Arun Kumar Singh

    It felt a bit scholarly and less focused on the personal aspects I was hoping for. Still, informative if you want a deep dive.

  4. Arijit Debnath

    It truly captures the essence of Clarice Lispector and helps me understand her struggle.

  5. Rudhra Maurya

    The writing style was kind of boring, and I felt it was just okay. Would not recommend unless you really like the author.

  6. Jarpula Ajay Simha

    I felt it helped me understand the spiritual autobiography. It had a profound journey of what the author was thinking.

  7. Nikhil Jha

    I am not sure what all the hype was. The writing was not that great, and the story was not very engaging.

  8. Anurag Kumar

    The connection to Kafka was intriguing! The book dragged in some places, but overall, a good read for Lispector enthusiasts.

  9. Aniket Singh

    The book was good in parts, especially those covering her exile, but the writing style felt disjointed at times. It’s a mixed bag.

  10. Gurneet Kaur

    I was looking for a book that gave me more insight, but this was more of a recap of what I already knew. I was wanting a better read.

  11. Sahil Chaprana

    Amazing! It gives so much knowledge about Clarice’s works and her personal life. It is highly recommended

  12. Nitish Negi

    A bit too academic for my taste. I wanted a more engaging narrative. But it does offer a detailed analysis of her life.

  13. Harsh

    I really enjoyed it, and I will tell other friends about it so they can understand it too. It really shaped my thoughts about Kafka.

  14. Pranjal Kumar

    It felt like a chore to read. I was hoping to gain more about the Jewish Culture.

  15. Aashish Shrivastava

    A brilliant biography! It is beautifully written and incredibly insightful. It truly captures the essence of Clarice Lispector.

  16. Abhishek Shukla

    It was an okay read, I did not get all of the connection with Jewish mysticism and found that to be boring.

  17. Ritik Kumar

    I enjoyed the exploration of the mystical elements in her work. The book gave me a deeper appreciation for her genius!

  21. Subhaditya Chatterjee

    It was okay, but not the best I have read about her. I had to push myself to finish it.

  22. Sakshi Tanwar

    A fascinating look into Lispector’s life. It shed light on her influences, but sometimes felt a little dry. Overall, a worthwhile read for fans.
