PositiveCleveland Review of BooksAmbai infuses a deep sense of reality in her stories by making the worlds of these women rich in sensory details—one can almost smell and taste and feel the environment of the characters ...

They move beyond the realm of the familiar to the darkness unique to the plight of Indian women.
