Will she ever find redemption, or will her attempts consume her? |
Critical Reviews:
- "From the start, "The Vision" is a roller coaster ride of emotions; some good, some bad, some horrifying, but all genuine. It is in THAT, that I find the author, Sunanda J. Chatterjee, has done her job well. Not all books are meant to be agreed with, but all books are meant to stir up thoughts, arouse contemplation, awaken sentiments and speculations. Kudos, Dr. Chatterjee! "The Vision" is a book that is easily enjoyed, wonderfully written and highly engaging." The Review Board.
- "It's completely impossible to ignore the fantastic weaving of narratives that Sunanda J. Chatterjee works with in this astonishing and refreshing novel 'The Vision'. Every page and every chapter uncovers a new depth to her writing, and the characters that she creates lovingly and yet with an author's eye: they aren't perfect, and as a reader there are no demands on me to absolutely love every single character. Indeed, some of their actions go directly against that as spirituality and science collide, both in the main character of Divya and in the circumstances that she finds herself in. This is definitely a novel that needs to come accompanied with tissues, however, because it really doesn't let up, especially in the latter stages. I fell in love with this book, and I found myself completely captivated by it. I would heartily recommend this book." Emily Murdoch, Author
