Reviews

“Rao amazes yet again with a true sense of what the modern woman goes through every day. We must battle cultural norms yet rebel in a way to gain our wings to do what we yearn to accomplish. She describes the dual roles of women, no matter where one comes from.”

—Sonali Dhir, Advance Practice Nurse, Family Nurse Practitioner


“Simi K. Rao’s Under the Shade of the Banyan Tree is an engrossing read. Each poem tells a different story which strikes a chord with the readers instantly.”

—Priyasree Naskar, Student and Educator
