Critic 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 ...' -- 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
