Recensione:
Loved this book. Have read other books too about Bombay, so was expecting some repetition. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Naresh Fernandes writes really well and with a deep sympathy for those living on the margins of Bombay's society. Am buying multiple copies and gifting to everyone I know who cares about Bombay. --Sashin T Feb 8, 2014
ish this book was longer. There is so much more the author would have liked to have said. Very insighful and an absolute page turner. If Dalrymple gave Delhi to themselves, Naresh Fernandes can make us discover our very own city ! --By Arun Krishnan on 13 May 2014
Naresh has beautifully captured nuances of Mumbai from its history to its present. Narrative is lucid and captivating. Right size of book for the people who are perpetually on run most for reason but frequently as a default setting of Mumbai gene. --By Rajnish Mehta on 7 April 2014
