“Köhler-Rollefson’s love and concern for camels and the Raika shines in her easy style of story-telling, often slipping into Indian English idiom. This is a story of the author’s work, the flux in Raika society, the lack of value accorded to pastoral economy, and lives of camels skilfully braided together.”

“the book is as much about the Raika as it is about camels ... This well-organised, lucidly-written book is an eye-opener, and no, camels are not the sneering grouches they have been made out to be!”

“A wonderful story and a ripping read.”

“The writing is beautiful ... This is one of the best travelogues you’ll be reading this year ... informative and entertaining.”
