the whole nation. The source of inspiration can be tracked to the bold writing style of Munshi Premchand, which was also acknowledged by the author at the launch event. Women of all ages can relate to the story presented in the novel, which Laxmi said couldn’t have been possible without the support of her family.

In her brief address, the author thanked the audience, readers, her close friends Ratna and Suman, brother Brij Mohan, her husband Ravi Prakash Tiwari and her family who supported her endeavour and encouraged her to fulfil her literary potential.

Laxmi’s daughter and husband also addressed the audience on the occasion, talking about Laxmi’s gifted narrative skills. Ravi Prakash recalled an incident from a few years ago when Laxmi and their daughter were driving to Murdoch university from Bibra lake and suddenly a snake crossed their path. “I remember our daughter telling me about the incident later in the evening, but the way Laxmi vividly described it - in great detail and with a lot of flair - was memorable. I was impressed by her story-telling skills. We were always aware of her potential and encouraged her to nurture it,” he said.

The novel has received positive reviews from many newspapers and authors in India and elsewhere in the world. Praise for the novel continued at the launch event as well, with many from the audience sharing their appreciation for the work.

Laxmi also read a paragraph from the novel. The warm applause it elicited proved that Laxmi’s labour had been worth it.
