I have read this book twice and enjoyed it thoroughly. It is a wonderful reminder to women everywhere of the amazing strength we all have inside to handle the rocky road of life, both the highs and lows. What I really love is how there are various characters in the book but yet you find something in each one of them that you can relate to, that "I've been there to" moment. I recommend this book to all women and anyone who has any women in their lives, be it mothers, sisters, wives, daughters and so on. For her debut work Beverley Shenoy has done a wonderful job. I look forward to reading her future works.

For three days, I was captivated--beginning with the excellent design of the book cover, right through the woven fabric of the storyline. I set the approval rating to a notch higher -just because she used my name in her novel. I really liked the pace and flow of her story with vivid descriptions, the choice and use of local lingo. Additionally, she managed to brilliantly include both characters and expressions that reveal and typify the flavor of *amchi* Mumbai. Some of her readers may never experience 'that life', so for them, her book is sufficiently informative with a true insight that says it all. For me, her book was a flashback of beautiful memories in print, an affirmation of 'that life', and for a woman who truly understands *tough*!
