Product Reviews:
“Soft-flowing and permeated with the disappearing art of letter writing, this beautiful book takes you to a Delhi that does exist in our real world, and yet more often is rather felt in the heart than outside it. A lovely keepsake… a necessary and charming addition to shelves devoted to the world’s great cities.”
– Mayank Austen Soofi, blogger at thedelhiwalla.com, and daily columnist on city life for Hindustan Times
“A wonderful, personal peek into the heart of India’s capital through poignant letters that tell stories to bind you.”
– Paro Anand, writer, storyteller, and children’s literature activist
“Aftab Yusuf Shaikh’s Letters to Ammi are like epistles of life. Shaikh gives us a portrait of the city on each page, ranging from Chandni Chowk’s aroma-filled streets to those of Mehrauli teeming with the past and on to the spiritual world of Nizamuddin Auliya, Jama Masjid and more.”
– Ziya Us Salam, Associate Editor, Frontline
