"A rich saga of tangled relationships and strained loyalties... subtly played out; passionate and intelligent in scope" * Financial Times * "Priya has done a wonderful job of characterisation. Her description of the turmoil faced by people in love makes the book an interesting and satisfying read" * New Woman * "A searing love story... burns and scorches with wry conviction about young love that refuses to say die" * India Today * "A brilliant second book and one that makes a stand to address the complex battle and struggle for identity and independence faced by the modern Asian woman" * TheAsianWriter.com * "Montagues and Capulets are redrawn for the 21st century, and it's this utterly convincing conflict of family values that makes for such a compelling narrative" * LitLove.wordpress.com *
