I read this book merely because it was sent to me with a request for review. <br /><br />Perhaps, this book under review is no comparison with Blue Boy.Tomichan Matheikalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037872309096060126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-50300219522321433392015-12-09T19:56:48.720+05:302015-12-09T19:56:48.720+05:30The narrative, as given by your review, appears in...The narrative, as given by your review, appears interesting. Actually, I find the title very compelling. When I started reading the post, I thought 'She' is about a woman and her struggles, about how 'she' fights it out alone. But turned out it is different. By the way, have you read Blue Boy by Rakesh Satyal?sunaina sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848852013009581839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-2301210897349503402015-12-09T19:33:50.313+05:302015-12-09T19:33:50.313+05:30I'm fine, thanks for remembering my fracture :...I'm fine, thanks for remembering my fracture :) And glad you are back.

The book deals with an issue which is relevant socially and such books usually gather few readers. That is a pity, isn't. Good effort from your side for spreading the word. <br />I am happy to be here after so long. When I disappeared from blogosphere, you were tending to a fracture, I remember. I hope you are healthy and healed now. And I see that you have been blogging consistently. Kudos to you!
