Details: ‘A River Sutra is a seminal book.’ The Illustrated Weekly of India ‘A River Sutra is a lyrical series of interlocking stories that transport the reader to a contemporary India that is also the living present of myth.’ Vanity Fair ‘Gita Mehta’s book emphasizes even more the mysteries of the East that need no confirmation from the West. A self-contained chain of stories, complete, sparkling, romantic the writer has clearly reached a higher level of conscious story-telling.’ Sunday Observer ' the way they (the stories) are told—the seamless flow of the narrative mirroring the flow of the sacred Narmada, the variation of the tales reflecting the changing seasons—puts the book leagues ahead of any other.’ India Today ‘Gita Mehta’s consummate novel reflects the depth and complexity of India’s spirituality like a diamond reflects light. Each bewitching tale is a rivulet pouring its truth into the long river of life. A quiet masterpiece.’
