Outlook, India
“On the surface a book about a bus journey, The Bus Stopped is a novel that reflects deeply into the nature and circumstances of human mobility in our modern, unforgiving world.”
The Hindu, India

“It’s a fine work: short, sweet and brutal.”
The Independent
“A lyrical journey through small-town India.”
The Guardian
“…allows stories to emerge with immediacy and leisure, with abrupt shafts of humour…”
