She says: ‘Author beautifully brings out the impact of external and internal violence in the life of a teenager in mid 1980s. It is an important piece of literature for a turbulent phase of Punjab written with an intensity that takes you back to the time.’

A short review by Manjula Narayan in the Hindustan Times today (the third entry on the page):

This novel is doubly powerful as a result.’
