I'm not an author, but I'm a big fan Saborna. I'll keep talking about your work and hope that someone here in the US soon sees the wonderful story you've brought to life.----Catherine Jampuppy

Any agent should realize how lucky she is to have a chance to review your work! ----Lisa Falk Ellis

Your immense strength lies in your candid, almost brutal, honesty. You write from the heart and therefore you touch so many hearts. Everyone suffers but it takes a special clan to write it in such a way that everyone reading it, says, at some point, 'Yes, it's my life' or 'I know him/her personally'. This happened with The Distance.
Your debut book is indeed a landmark in literature. Believe me, this is just the beginning, Saborna
- Arindam Roy (The Times of India former Bureau Chief)

I liked Distance - especially its bipartite structure -- life before and after the departure of the NRI. It really captures the texture of Bengali life and streets in the forst part; and in the second, I like the curiosity with and bewilderment at the new, the exploratory, tentative nature of it.-----------Sabitha Satchi (Assist. Prof. Univ. Of Delhi)

It was merely a hunch that made me pick this book up from Flipkart, of course on cue from a facebook friend.  

One who has walked past Esplande , New Bazaar, Saltlake, only  a couple of times, would feel such proximity to this city that smell of fish and Bengali sweetmeats would cover me with so much of nostalgia ,  was unimaginable till I finished the last page. ‘The Distance’  eventually emerges as possession worthy to show off------Sanjeev Sharma
