I truly admire my fellow bloggers who
have turned authors for that is one giant leap for them and it also feel truly
encouraging to read their work. I have followed Rickie’s writings for quite
some time now surely for the creativity he has and they unique narrative style
that he brings along in this work which is distinctively his. The moment I came
to know that he had written a book, I knew I had to read it. I enjoyed reading his work which was a
reflection of his wit and humour.

Firstly the concept of the book is so
refreshingly different that it made me wonder what made his write something
like this. It is like rewriting history in itself. But then Rickie is known to
try his hand at different things and present them in a beautiful manner that
you are left gasping at its sheer brilliance.
It is a quick and easy read, not to
forget thoroughly enjoyable as well. The beauty of this whole thing is
everything that one could have thought of if these two people met has been
thought of and conjured in this book. The book begins with Gandhi meeting Eva
on a ship. He is impressed with her ideologies. The author has managed to touch
the private lives of both Gandhiji and Eva before letting history unfold where
he has just woven magic with his words.
Strongly recommended for its sheer
brilliant work. Excellently written debut novella. Rickie has surely set the
bar very high for the readers from his next work!
