I’m delighted that my review of Snigdha Agrawal’s book, Fragments of Time, (Memoirs) was published on LatinosUSA – English Edition on April 3, 2025!

Here is part of the review. The rest follows on the link below.

Fragments of Time: Memoirs (Notion Press, February 11, 2025) is an inspiring legacy of one person’s life of legends. In her memoir, Snigdha Agrawal weaves us into her art as though we are threads in the tapestry of her being. The “fragments” (memories) from her birth to her senior years are hardly frayed by time. The memories display vivid colors and designs. We become captivated by the quilt she is creating.

Each thread draws us into her mosaic of moments, places, celebrations, losses, and lessons learned because we are living our lives in similar ways. Our memories of childhood, school, marriage, childbearing, careers, family, aging, and so on, comprise the fabric of being human.

When people hear the word “memoir”, they think of a “tell-all”, a book of scandal and ruin. However, Agrawal writes with humility, gratitude, and joy, honoring a “life lived”. Her treasure can be handed down through her family’s generations as a pattern for how to respond to victories and losses. She reveals her deepest loves and fears. She confesses to her frailties, which are signs of true strength. Life isn’t perfect; nor are the living. She skillfully and lovingly shares her human experience, expressing a wide range of emotions that glisten from the soul: deep love and loss described in honest and raw but respectful and apologetic terms. Her humility stands out as soft silk…….
