About the book, Shobhana Chelliah, Prof. University of North Texas, writes, ´Fantasy with a touch of C.S. Lewis, this charming novel by first time not-yet twenty author, Anoushka Poudel, is a gripping delight of a read. Using matter-of-fact precise language with occasional touch of the poetic, Anoushka weaves a tale of fantasy tracking the adventures of a young blind girl as she travels to the nether world with her demon friend to rescue her mother from purgatory. There is a bit of romance in here as well! We can all hope there´s more where that comes from.´ Reading the book, Irom Gambhir Singh, Associate Professor, Manipur University, reacts, ´The sufferings are mandatory to understand the basic principle of life, thus the story has revealed the power of endurance, the true virtuous life of noble soul.´ Miriam J Butt, Prof. University of Konstanz, says, ´A surprising, well crafted book containing an original story from an unexpected perspective. Indeed, a world beyond and a world well worth visiting.´
