    The prose is beautiful but the story is ultimately quite sad.

  3. Ayush Tiwari

    A good read, but not my favorite by Desai. The story felt a bit underdeveloped.

    Desai’s prose is stunning, but the plot felt a bit thin. I wanted more action and excitement. Still, a worthwhile read for its atmosphere.

    A beautifully written but somewhat slow-paced story. Desai captures the mountain scenery well. The relationship between Nanda and Raka is interesting but could be more developed.

    I found this book to be beautifully written, but also quite depressing. It explores themes of loneliness and isolation effectively.

    A lovely book with vivid descriptions of the Indian landscape. The characters are well-drawn and the story is engaging.

    Desai’s writing is exquisite, but the story is quite bleak. It’s a powerful exploration of human connection and its absence.
