"Historically, this is a descriptive and engrossing read on all aspects of life in early 20th century British India. It has a twist of mystery and a hint of the supernatural, but it is also a clever study of the customs and culture of Buddhism, as explored by one of the characters who helped Sophie understand her visions. The story includes light-hearted humour and offers an engaging adventure perfect for young adult readers."The review, by Arleigh Johnson, appeared in Historical Novels Review Issue 70 (November 2014) You can read the full review at the Historical Novel Society website.
