"This collection of short stories may be seen as a continuation of the author’s first collection of stories: it once again showcases her skills as a writer of historical fiction engaged with depicting the life of urban and rural Indians especially the disadvantaged and marginalised groups. The stories, through their refreshing characters and unforgettable situations, belong to the fantasy genre. The magic realism in some of her stories ‘The Tree’ are bewitching and revealing at the same time. Her vignettes of the past and of modern Indian society along with her new literary experiments render the stories insightful, sensitive and charming, all at the same time. The stories make the collection one of the most readable volumes to emerge from women fiction writers in the recent past."
