'The textual tension between the real and the imaginary nourishes and complicates the narrative ... Shameless exposes the hypocrisies of Kolkata the distrust and hatred that exists between the [Hindu and Muslim] communities.'



-- Ashutosh Bhardwaj award-winning writer and journalist





'Shameless is a far more marinated novel than its predecessor ... The emotional seesaw between the creator and her creations gives the plot a cerebral intensity ... Nasreen distils hard-hitting truth through her lived experiences transforming her individual predicament to strike a universal chord through her deft storytelling.'



-- Somak Ghoshal Livemint
