Tabula Rasa shatters some of the misconceptions that abound worldwide and prejudices knowingly and unknowingly about the inhabitants, their origins, and Singapore's histories. A must-read to know what this little island has been and is about.

The commendable research behind the novel stands out, unveiling the contributions of thousands of labourers in the building of the wonderland of Singapore. While it seamlessly weaves the bonding, cultural strengths, and taboos, it also emerges as a rare work of art in male psychology. The world of men, their loneliness, and suffocations caused by their inability to vent out their hurts and insults have been depicted intricately by a female author.

Some books rejoice us, some leave us in tears, and others give pangs of nostalgia, but only a very few make us doubt our perceptions and conscience , and this fiction, like every other book of the author, did that to me. I was awestruck, unlearning, learning, and contemplating within myself. Is human mind just full of complexities or contrasts? Is there anything better in life than just a clean slate, Tabula Rasa?

The author artistically weaves a fiction on the formation and development of Singapore from the fourteenth century to the present. The reader travels into those times smoothly to know how this fabulous island was conceived and brought to today's advancement from the side of rulers, peasants, commoners, and migrant workers. A brilliant read!

Disarmingly, charmingly simple, this book will give readers much to think about.
- Usha Nagasamy, Further Education teacher, London
When will you die?- an emotion in itself that many of us avoid and fear comes out as a beautiful literary rendition by Jayanthi Sankar and will stay a mystery and an enigma years after its time and haunt our hidden traumas, insecurities in ways we could never imagine.
- Sredhanea Ramkrishnan, Food technologist and upcoming author, India
Zooming in like a camera to explore the aspects of the human psyche at various levels across the vast framework of society at large, the brevity of this postmodern socio psychological novella fascinates me.
- Ethan Wynn, FinTech Analyst, Houston, USA
Jayanthi Sankar skillfully depicts human complexities with quite a few nuanced surprises in store in the epistolary novella When Will You Die? It leaves the reader reflecting on the toll relationships can take on humans, what it is to live after losing your moorings, and what it means to be torn apart by affection and hate.
- Dr. Revathy Sivasubramaniam, UX Researcher, Chennai, India
Another fresh work of fiction and storytelling with profound ideas that will intrigue many readers, as it did me. Left with countless lingering thoughts and debates, I haven’t been able to come out of it.
- Liu Fang, Further Education teacher, Hong Kong
The main characters in the novella for their own reasons do not share significant incidents of their lives and this effectively depicts the shallowness of modern day, contemporary relationships.
