Where Destiny Commands
“This is an enthralling story of two remarkable people who lived through tumultuous times, without letting history grind them under its relentless cogs. Beautifully written, it is a genuine pleasure to read, and, indeed, at the end, leaves you hungry to know how the rest of their lives turned out. As I said, I cannot recommend this book highly enough!”

“Set amidst the raging turmoil of war, this novel brings to life the story of a young Indian doctor in the British Indian army who finds himself engaged in the North African World War II campaign. He goes to Cairo where he meets a beautiful Armenian woman and falls in love. Well researched and compelling reading. The story is authentic, and engaging and one can easily empathize with the characters. It has been two weeks since I read the book but I am still reliving it like a movie.”

“It is a story of everyday people thrown into exceptional circumstances who became heroes to save the world – with all its blessings and failings that we enjoy today. Spanning borders and cultures as it does, I would like to see this epical book as a movie (Hollywood or Bollywood), made for a global audience.”

“This is a book for all seasons! It was great summer-time reading for me–I was completely drawn in by the breathtaking adventure and romance of the story. The global geo-politics and divisions created in the middle east of the ’40s reverberate to this day, impacting the lives of its people on a daily basis.”

“It took me a while to finish the book, but it was well worth it. The historical detail, the well-researched battles, the captivating characters and their true love story make this an absorbing read from beginning to end.”
A Very Enjoyable Read!

“This book of poetry is delightfully evocative. Lush with the beauty of nature, it is at times lighthearted, at times poignant; making it a thoroughly entertaining read every time. Having enjoyed this book as much as I did, I purchased Leila Sen’s new book, “Where Destiny Commands”, which I found most informative and absorbing.”
