“Jaswal tackles serious themes (arranged vs forced marriage, traditional vs modern culture) with a light and funny touch. A page-turner your commute will thank you for.” — Glamour Magazine on Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows
“By turns erotic, romantic, and mysterious, this novel of women defying patriarchial strictures enchants.” — Kirkus Reviews on Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows
“Charming. . . . This is a sparkling read.” — Publishers Weekly on Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows
“A playful yet profound novel [that] moves easily from heartfelt to humorous…what may seem to be a singular story about first-generation London-bred Punjabi women evolves into a story universal to us all.” — USA Today on The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters
“An absolute delight…sad, joyful, and exciting all at the same time.” — Bookpage (starred review) on The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters
