:''"In Bangla literature, the greatest success story in recent times has been a post-partition memoir: ''Dayamayeer Katha'' (''Dayamayee’s Tale''), Sunanda Sikdar’s maiden work. Upon its arrival in January 2008, it received both critical and popular acclaim and in no time traversed the distance from being a cult hit to becoming an instant classic."''<ref>[http://kafila.org/2010/10/29/the-return-of-daya-prasanta-chakravarty/ Kafila review]</ref>
