What readers and review(er)s having been saying about The Last Wave:: ----- “a commendable debut…” - Ajay Dandekar in Biblio The Last Wave: An Island Novel is fascinating for the way it depicts a part of India often ignored in literature - southasiabookblog “…a poignant yet engaging tale of a group of tiny islands, which seldom find a worthy note of mention in ‘mainland India’, save for tourism and administrative purposes. Unless you are an anthropologist or an anthropology student, you will hardly get to read a work of literature so soothingly immersed in that unusual milieu.” - The Financial Express “Sekhsaria … invests The Last Wave with an imaginative spiritual core. The book draws on the wellsprings of life forces; it brings to sharp relief the mindless advance of modernity, contrasting it with a natural order of life.” - Shamik Bag in The Indian Express “A book to reread and treasure” - Monalisa Jena “I enjoyed the book. Its flow and its characters smell right …and through them we are made quietly aware of the very complex social web that the Jarawa of the Andamans must negotiate now that they have been ‘befriended’ by the administration.” - Bittu Sahgal, Sanctuary Asia “The author has successfully managed to sew together real life stories to his tale and the combination of facts and fiction on an ecological backdrop forms a rich tapestry which will enrich the knowledge of the readers while keeping them enthralled with its lucidity.” - Sabyasachi Patra, indiawilds “I also feel that this is an extremely important book for the way in which it entertains readers while giving us insights into different ways of living, and showing us the delight and wealth of being sensitive to and promoting cultures radically different from our own.” - Saaz Aggarwal, blackandwhitefountain/sindh/ --- Order the book online: Flipkart - t.co/n7RIVcl0pC; Amazon - tinyurl/leywz8c; Kindle - amzn.to/1uUq27n
