TitleLeadingThe
Reviews"This stimulating novel reads like a true-to-life story...The descriptions of the lives of both common villagers and the well-off are informative. The insights into the local customs and traditions might be an eye-opener even for those familiar with Indians' time-honored ways." --Historical Novel Society "While the narrative at times reflects the dark elements of human nature, the tone is hopeful and enriching. Badani builds imagery with a gentleness that is soothing to take in and threads together rich descriptions of the landscape that are transportive." -- USA Today 's Happy Ever After " The Storyteller's Secret is a lavishly told tale of secrets, love, and loyalty. It is a celebration of the beauty of story and its ability to help us be heard and understood." --New York Journal of Books
