‘Meaning is not manufactured. It is experienced. Dipika Kohli has lived these words.’

Read Clarion Content Editor Aaron Mandel‘s full review of The Elopement

‘And while it might be possible to create one’s own destiny, the lesson we can learn from this book is that it is folly to try to create someone else’s.’

Read Displaced Nation Editor Kate Allison‘s full review of The Elopement

‘I loved it, Dipika. You and I are different in many ways. I am not sure we would fully agree on what and where we are. But we are also are the same. I really connected with Kanishka… I really, really like your epilogue. Thanks.’

Read Raleigh News & Observer Editor Eric Frederick ‘s full review on this site’s page about Kanishka

‘‘Dipika is a[n] author who clearly has been writing for years. Her ability to illustrate a particular moment, object, or emotion is amazing. Her writing style is different than what I am accustomed to reading. Its almost poetic. As the reader you can expect to gain insight into the mind, heart and soul of a Woman who lives life passionately and purposely. Also, Dipika does a nice job at outlining the good and not so pretty reality of what it means to defy cultural norms.” —Anonymous, on The Elopement
