Praise: The Girl in the Dream
Praise
for The Girl in the Dream
‘It is a moving tale of
love - love from the past and love at present - that presents to the readers
everything in the right proportion. The Girl in the Dream keeps the readers
guessing for what might come ahead in the storyline. A page-turner, this novel
will keep the readers hooked till the end with its splendid storytelling and an
enchanting dream that connects the present to the past. I am sure the frequent
occurrence of the dream, Vivaan’s expressions for Riya but his hesitation at
times, the scenes of experiencing the previous life 500 years ago… and many
other things must visualise like a movie.’

‘The Girl in the Dream
is a novel that has pace, interesting threads that connect the past and the
present and a storyline that is impressive, compelling and also exciting for
the readers all the time. It is not a romantic novel that you can find almost
by the alternate writers in India; this is something more than a casual romance
- this is novel with serious elements of contemporary conjugal life and linked
with a sorrowing story of the past that will impress the readers with its
pathos.’
- Indian Book Critics
‘The Girl in the Dream
is all that a modern reader could wish for. It is romantically inclined but
many things more than the usual romance of the day. It does not exhibit the
general trend of physical pulls and pushes. It has a depth in the narrative that
transition from the USA to India wonderfully. Pravin Agarwal, the novelist who
penned this beautiful story of lovers at present and lovers in the past, has
done his extreme best.’
- Gaurav Shashi (Regular Books
& Reviews)
‘Pravin has achieved
quite big in terms of fiction's height in this novel. It keeps the readers
engaged and also excited for the next chapters to come. The main characters are
linked in the present life as well as their past life by very interesting and
thought-provoking scenarios and situations. Yes, this is predominantly a love
story - as the subtitle further intensifies. However, what happens? Who loves
whom? What is the link to the past - 500 years ago? There are many things that
the readers will find in the course of their reading of the novel. The novel
moves towards its conclusion very impactfully and the symbolism has been very
apt according to the storyline.’
- Rohan Kashyap (bookreviewsonline.in)
‘The Girl in the Dream
is a novel that will certainly create an impact upon the readers. It will give
out a message that romantic writing without short-term explicit obscenity is
very much possible if the author wants to achieve it. Pravin Agarwal has
planned and penned the novel in a way that it does not let the readers get an
entire idea of what comes in the very next chapter of the chapter being read.
So, there is the element of suspense and also the element of surprise. In
short, it's a moving novel and the readers will never feel underwhelmed.’
- The Best Books
‘When I began reading
this novel, it began with a surprise and continued to pack and offer me the
surprises all the way. Usually, the novels in the mystery genre get overly
predictable with the progress you make. However, The Girl in the Dream, with an
interesting subtitle - a love story planned 500 years ago - is very different
compared to other contemporary titles in this genre. Pravin Agarwal must have
done his homework quite extensively and that's why he has done very well in the
art of keeping his readers excitedly guessing for a good part of the novel.’
