Another poetic gem that takes a reader to have a glimpse of the history and culture of a beautiful country. I hope the struggles and helplessness of the woman depicted in this story will no longer be experienced by any woman especially the youth. Beautifully written. Superbly conveyed story.

Another gripping story. Each and every line is woven perfectly touching the heart of readers with deepest sympathy to the main characters. Very poignant write. So revolting that you can feel the sadness, courage, kindness and love shown in the main characters.

The sad story in favour of a girl and her helpless father has been inscribed touchingly. It may be quoted some lines... He just took me in his arms And wept like a baby. What could he do Against such power! Brilliant expression.

Very touchy write up. The pain is inconsolable, seeing the daughter in rags is the heights of pain any father could go through. Very touchy and you have described it with utmost honesty. Very interesting read... waiting for concluding series.

A protective father who loved his little daughter. He just took me in his arms And wept like a baby. What could he do Against such power! A helpless father fighting against the powerful, yet determined to protect his daughter from the wild, wicked world. Well written and narrated.

Heart-breaking. A reflection of the dark side of life. It's convenient to turn a blind eye to such grim reality but it exists in all times n ages. A poignant write, a sad tale of poverty n helplessness.
