A perfect novel, the more valuable for its unique subject.
It is beautifully written and very moving...At the end one has a poignant feeling that poetry and daily life have got parted, and will never come together again.--E.M. Forster
A marvelous novel, where a world being extinguished by modernity is illuminated in a parting gaze that possesses both clarity and warmth.--Siddhartha Deb
