Freedom at Midnight by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins
Harsimran Kaur On Aug 09, 2024, In Book Review, Freedom at Midnight by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins Rating: 5/5 Freedom is impressionistic; a self-nudging propaganda that thrives to dominate the conscious to explore possibilities to be liberated.

Harsimran Kaur On Apr 25, 2024, In Book Review, Waiting for Shiva By Vikram Sampath– Non-Fiction Rating: 5/5 Waiting for Shiva By Vikram Sampath Book Review Religion is prescriptive.
