Reviews: "[The Tiffin] is a great book about social consciousness … because it can show you that just because someone lives halfway around the world doesn’t mean they’re not dealing with the same issues you’re dealing with." – National Post "Melding the fantastically factual with fiction, Narsimhan sheds light on a relatively unknown part of Mumbai life while simultaneously creating a compelling quest that reads like a classic folk tale. Forgive the groan-inducing wordplay, but a novel this original is one in six million." – Starred Review — Quill & Quire "Narsimhan recounts a marvellous, well-told story about what it means to belong … When all is lost (or even just one tiffin!), Narsimhan demonstrates how hope can survive! Recommended." – CM Magazine "I really enjoyed travelling to Mumbai in this story, and experiencing the sights, smells, and sounds of this populous city … this is a unique survival story that will captivate junior and intermediate students." – Maria Martella, Tinlids "I give this book 5 stars because I absolutely love how The Tiffin provides an insight into Mumbai’s food delivery system that still continues today. I enjoyed how the author gives an insight into the life of a tiffin carrier. This story certainly has much more than meets the eye and is a celebration of culture and one of the world’s most complex and efficient food delivery systems." – Sonika M, age 15, Metropolitan Washington Mensa, American Mensa "A window into a part of the world and a life we rarely see, this middle grade novel has a compelling enough conflict that I think many teens would also find engaging. Highly recommended." – Mark David Smith, English Teacher, Coquitlam School District. Author The Weird Sisters, A note, A Goat, and a Casserole. "This book kept me riveted until the end. The characters and setting are vivid and I found myself wondering about how it would all work out as I went about my weekend activities. I learned a lot, too. Great quick read. Highly recommend for young people and adults alike." – Louise Bradford, Author, Wade’s Wiggley Antlers
