1) Review published by Goa Today, April issue and written by author Lino Leitao
Excperts:
What’s the Sixth Night, or Sottvi Raat?
It’s an old Goan belief, which the author expresses in a couplet down below:
No matter how hard you try
No matter what you do
What is written on your Sixth Night
Will always come true
Silviano Barbosa, the author, weaves a very fascinating narrative around this old Goan belief, exposing the social mores based on caste iniquities and servile mental attitudes implanted to the very core of the Goan psyche by the feudal and colonial hierarchies during that period of Goa’s history.

2) Review published on Goan Observer in March and it was written by Ben Antao.
