A few words from readers
What Readers
Are Saying
“Weight of Ashes is a deeply emotional musing about a daughter's admiration for her mother. The depiction of love and grief is very real. Even those who haven't experienced it can connect with the emotions. It's a story that reminds you of the importance of having a mother. A family. Sarmishtha makes you feel the raw ache of a daughter bearing her grief in silence.”BookBlabber.in

A gem that deserves a shelf!
An easy read yet imparts a profound reflection of the dual forces of life..pain and glory.
A pearl of wisdom reflecting and learning from past experiences yet assuring life is all about the present is liberating and heart warming.
A meaningful read and highly recommend.
