It’s a book that demands the immediate attention of the reader from the first line of the first chapter: “Art is a mask.” It gives a wonderful feeling to the literary critic to know what the book is about and why it starts with Art in the first sentence.

Better to say that Mirage is a novel that makes you laugh, cry, weep, and shout. Nilakshi Garg has written this book to venture into the literary world to dramatise her craft and creativity further. Mirage is the story of a Tattoo artist woman named Bethany Carlson who lives alone in Chicago, Illinois. Then be it Mirage, her debut contemporary and adult romance novel, or be it Twenty Eight Plus One, her poetry book that is definitely a page-turner.

One such author is Nilakshi Garg, who loves to stir unruly, wicked, and new emotions in her reader. Readers love hauling books which set their emotions in multiple directions – books that leave them hanging in thoughts for days to come.
