‘In this epistolary memoir, Mohua affirms the female spirit that won’t submit to the law of the father. Her letters to her deceased father take the reader on an emotional rollercoaster of love, heartbreak, rebellion, despair and hope. We grieve her losses and rejoice in her discoveries. It is a fascinating life story, told with flair!’

‘In a society where family is considered precious and insulated from criticism as well as truths about both love and angst, Mohua Chinappa has brought to us a searing memoir depicting the conflict between bonds and bondage, providing readers with an insight into the many dimensions of a father–daughter relationship. She covers every element—of fondness and love and the things that troubled her, things she wished she had said to her father when he was alive—through a series of letters written after his demise. This book, potentially, has opened the doors to more such writings that remind us of the beauty and faults of families and parents.’
