“A Brilliant Story of Love…
The Cries of the Butterfly by Rajeev Roy is unexplainable. It is a brilliant piece of work with deep and meaningful characters, dialogue and storylines. … This novel had me in tears sometimes, and grinning at other parts, and trust me, that’s when you know someone has done a good job. I am a bit of a book snob, so I have a little bit of a higher standard. I felt the pain, the struggle, and the decisions. The relationships in this book are heart-warming and inspiring. There is a richness to this story, with love at the very centre. Not just romantic, but platonic, undiluted love. I couldn’t put this book down… A brilliant story of love, tragedy, hope, denial and loss. Really amazing. 5 stars.”
