Why read it?

1 author picked A River on the Wall as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Employing delectable metaphors and classy language, Stormy Hazika scripts a moving novel about love that defies the barriers of age and time. The unorthodox relationship between Ryeed, a professor and Nikita, his young student, is penned with such skill and depth that I couldn’t believe it’s her debut novel.

Several lines filled me with inspiration and tugged at my heartstrings. A wondrous novel indeed.
