Pick of the Fortnight, Femina, January 26th, 2013 "Malathi Ramachandran is a warm, articulate media person who suddenly found she had a book inside of her that she had to write. She says, 'The story talks of a world that lives on in black and white family albums - it's an attempt to create the microcosmic world of an Army cantonment in a remote Himalayan town and also the social milieu of a small town in South India, in the 60's.' "The novel, an easy read, reveals contemporary characters caught under extraordinary circumstances. It's stranger than fiction, yet so believable that it could be true. The Wheel Turned explores a marital relationship with sensitivity and charm. It shows us the life of a soldier and leaves us at the edge of a cliff as the climax unfolds. Riveting yet laidback, we recommend you catch this one."
