\u201cThis 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!\u201d<\/p>\n\u2014 Chandra Lahiri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cSet 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2014 KK<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a story of everyday people thrown into exceptional circumstances who became heroes to save the world \u2013 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2014 Zillions<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a book for all seasons! It was great summer-time reading for me\u2013I 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 \u201940s reverberate to this day, impacting the lives of its people on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2014 Bani Chatterjee<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cThis 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\u2019s new book, \u201cWhere Destiny Commands\u201d, which I found most informative and absorbing.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2014 Zillions<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
