Appreciation for Tuhin's Previous Books.

The Edge Of Desire
Shruti Ranjan is an apt representation of today's Indian woman, living on the cusp of modernity and tradition and dealing with the multitude of problems which come with this...In many ways, Shruti represents the formidable modern day Draupadi - The Asian Age
The Edge of Desire is worth a read to understand the quirks of fate, the machinations of politics and what a combustible combination the two can make. - The Hindu
The book's immensely pacy - mirroring exactly the frenetic developments in Indian politics where a split second can transform people's lives. Sinha's made good use of real-life events as markers in Shruti's political and personal life. The Mahabharata metaphor is thought-provoking and Sinha's also done a fair job of showing the different, often clashing sides of his characters' personalities - ibnlive.com
The book has an interesting plot, considering the immensely political times we live in…Sinha covers a wide swathe, keeping his narrative interesting while portraying Shruti's 'it's complicated' status, be it her rocky personal or professional life - rediff.com |

OF Love And Politics
Indeed, in today's age of monosyllabic phrases and grammatically horrifying SMS-lingo, it is commendable to have a writer like Sinha who can so adeptly weave Shakespearean phrases like 'phlegmatic propensities' and 'puerile denials' with Shashi Tharoor-esque aplomb in his work - The Hindu
The book throws up well-researched and lesser-known trivia about Indian political history that is very illuminating. Tuhin represents a breed of young Indian authors who are conscious of their roots and who keep an eye on their political surroundings. - Deccan Herald
One of the most critical areas which the books delves into and which I liked very much is the connect between one's personal beliefs and his/her political ideology..the book celebrates democracy - Ravi Shankar Prasad, Senior Politician
...very interesting characters and some brilliant passages - Rimi Chatterjee, Author
The best part about the book is that it provides a distinct perspective on almost every important political event of the last century - Piyush Jha, Filmmaker
Politics makes strange bed-fellows and this book aptly proves it - Abhijit Bhaduri, Author
Thought provoking, easy flowing yet deep. Not only does it raise questions about the flaws in our multi-party democracy but also makes an attempt at offering solutions - Gul Panag, Actress |
