* “[Venkatraman]…succeeds spectacularly…Uido is a remarkable heroine…as infused with spirituality as this novel is, there is also heart-stopping action…the larger issues of modernity versus tradition offer much to think about…an intricate yet wholly accessible story” – Booklist, Starred Review

*”a lovely novel…offering an enticing blend of mystic tradition and imaginative speculation, Venkatraman movingly expresses a primitive tribe’s connection to nature and their struggle to find safety in the 21st century” – PW, Starred Review

*”vividly written and expertly paced…a moving story that will stay with readers long after the end” – SLJ, Starred Review

*”consistently engrosses…refreshingly hopeful and beautifully written” – Kirkus, Starred Review
