Kapur’s writing is beautiful, and the story of Auroville is compelling. However, the book felt a bit long and could have been more concise.
Divyanshu Jha –
A mixed bag for me. The Auroville history was engaging, but the personal story felt a little self-indulgent at times. Still, worth reading.
Adarsh Sirmour –
A fascinating exploration of Auroville’s history. Kapur beautifully weaves personal narrative with the community’s story. Some parts were slow-paced, but overall, a worthwhile read.

An interesting premise, but I found the writing a bit dense at times. Still, a thought-provoking look at idealism gone awry.

Better to Have Gone is a beautifully written memoir. Kapur’s storytelling is captivating. The emotional depth resonated deeply. A bit depressing, though.
