Book Review
Gurnaik Johal’s “Saraswati” is a gentle and moving story that looks at what it means to belong. Set in modern Britain, it follows characters caught between cultures—torn between tradition and the pull of new identities. Johal writes with quiet confidence, turning ordinary moments into something deeply emotional. His storytelling feels real and grounded, filled with warmth and understanding.
What attracts the readers is how naturally Johal captures the everyday rhythm of life—family conversations, memories that linger, and the silent weight of expectations. There’s no drama for the sake of it; instead, the emotion builds slowly and truthfully. Through simple yet thoughtful writing, “Saraswati” reflects the beauty and struggle of staying true to yourself in a changing world.

More than a story about culture or identity, “Saraswati” is about people—how they love, remember, and try to make sense of where they come from. Johal doesn’t just tell us what his characters feel; he lets us live with them for a while. The result is a touching, introspective novel that lingers long after the last page, marking Johal as a writer with a rare emotional clarity and grace.
