Skryf Review
Excellent Reading…I have been amazed by quite a few historical fiction already, but none of this specific genre. This novel is high on the inaccuracy, but the author made a note in the end anyway. He said that he intentionally had to do the inaccuracy to make the plot a lot better. KanaiyalalMunshi actually rules the hearts of gujarati literature lovers by his amazing narration of historical stories. It is a must read book for all literature lovers. His every novel has the love for Gujarat that he carried till his death. His historical novels are just masterpieces to be explored.
