That's important information, because there might be other readers out there who, like me, would like to buy a copy.

Warmest regards,

I want to ask a question, and I hope it will not cause offence.

This book, with its particular take on marriage, is located in the UK. I imagine it must be of immense interest there, if only to the fringe immigrant population. Has it been reviewed by a single periodical, magazine, journal, newspaper, in the UK? Why not?

Possibly, the internet replaces local publicity. But I think something is fundamentally wrong when a novel about Indians or new British is receiving attention in India but not in the UK.

Monica Ali's Brick Lane was a UK and international success. Why not Notes on a marriage, bearing in mind that it could not even attract a UK publisher.

The UK depresses me and now even more!

I'd guess that the reviews will show up in spaces where the publishers have clout.

And, an author will get published where s/he has the clout/connections.

Which is why, we need to build a ecosystem that makes it easier to Goa to publish its own voices.

Tough, challenging, many obstacles... but not impossible. That's my view, anyone is free to disagree/counter. Please do so.
