The Vegetarian By Han Kang – Book Review
Review By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 5/5 A mind is wholesome not just through the external stimuli but also by internal pleasure of conflict wretched in the memory of the forlorn. If such a mind is disreputable and delirious, it also stands as an impeccable canvas of reflective prejudices cascading as a disillusioned reality. What is […]
Orbital By Samantha Harvey – Book Review
Review By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 5/5 Some stories don’t end; they continue in their fragility to be loaded off somewhere to find an end. Stories of humans, their imperfections and inclination to sip the unusual taste of the forbidden carry on in vulnerability, an end that is not foreseeable. The reality is often crumbled […]

Fracking deep-seated beliefs: The Trumpet blows the ‘garbage’ out and Harris is the new story-teller!
By Harsimran Kaur Donald Trump finally has the last laugh, though not the usual ‘guffaw’ by Harris.

The White Book By Han Kang-Book Review
Review By Harsimran Kaur White is comforting.

An Eye For An Eye By Jeffrey Archer – Book Review
Review By Harsimran Kaur The formidable ‘William Warwick’ and the enfant terrible ‘Ross Hogan’ are back with another reticulated revue of truth and betrayal.
