This novel is very immersive and well written. There are disturbing themes of how women were treated. The story is interesting, but a bit slow.
Devesh Lal –
Nimmo’s journey is heartbreaking yet inspiring. Powar’s prose is evocative, painting a vivid picture of colonial Punjab. A few plot points felt unresolved. Gripping narrative.

A good book that portrays women in old society. However, some character development felt rushed. Enjoyed learning about the historical context. Great read overall.

A powerful story about a woman’s resilience. The depiction of the era was fascinating, although the pace lagged in places. The patriarchal elements are prominent and disturbing
Harshit –
Dusk over the Mustard Fields is okay. It’s very descriptive, but the story dragged at times. Nimmo’s experiences were compelling, but it lacked excitement.
Swagatika Panda –
A beautifully written story with a strong female lead. Some parts were a bit slow, but overall a worthwhile read. The ending was bittersweet. Loved the cultural immersion.
