Reviews:
“The volume is remarkable for the variety of its inspirations…” – Guardian, UK
“Anand is indeed adept in the art of spinning a yarn… he employs linguistic skills to effect an inner cohesion and give an organic whole to the story.” – Punjab Journal of English Studies, Guru Nanak Dev University
“Mulk Raj Anand’s picture is real, comprehensive, and subtle, and the shifts in moods, from farce to comedy, from pathos to tragedy, and from the realistic to the poetic, are remarkable.” – V S Pritchett, British Literary Critic
