    Praise for Renita D'Silva


    D'Silva weaves a tale so rich and complex in detail and history that I found it quite impossible to put the book down. The characters really came to life for me and I grew attached and invested in them and what was going to happen. The details are rich, vivid and so well described that I truly felt at times that I was there or at least was hearing the story first hand from the main character... from start to finish I loved this book and couldn't recommend it more. 5/5. NovelEscapes.com It mesmerized me with its poignant narration and heart-warming storyand kept me hooked until the last page. 9/10. ChickLitClub.com A wonderfully dramatic and poignant debut novel from Renita DSilva. I was captivated by the characters and their plight. Momssmallvictories.com a really moving and poignant story. Novelicious.com Full of gorgeously crafted settings and descriptions, youll be pulled into this lush novel. Renita paints the most beautiful images with a few, perfectly chosen words. Monsoon Memories is a book to fall in love with. KimTalksBooks.com

    About Renita
    Renita D'Silva grew up in a picturesque coastal village in the South of India and her father bought her first story books when she was six - beautiful hardback fairytale books, a rarity in those days. She fell in love with storytelling then and is still just as much of a bookworm today. Both The Forgotten Daughter and Monsoon Memories are set in the India that Renita knows and loves.
