"Dives into the chilling aspects of war and the human psyche" - San Jose Mercury News.
"Facts you can bend. Memories are much stronger things."
North Mikra’s best spy has everything she wants: a decades-old civil war riding on her shoulders, guns, weapons smuggling, and an elusive enemy, Agent S. A fierce female assassin in a male-dominated world, she’s the best fighter, the sharpest shooter, and apparently the most heartless soldier. A kid at a party once asked her if she’d killed anybody and she said no. She did her job. The word wasn’t “kill.”
So when she wakes up from a bomb blast without her memory, she ignores her personal reservations about the war and goes straight back to work.
There’s only one mystery. Who is she?

This is a brilliant novel. Nobody will guess it is a debut
By nbalu23
This is a brilliant novel. Nobody will guess it is a debut. It flows so well . Try to guess the ending but resist the temptation to look at the last pagesThe young writer has made full use of her international experience but has retained her new way of looking at things and fresh point of view. The novella is a critical success.

Elegant Novella Prompts Important Questions
By Paul Vicary
Sometimes the most powerful stories are those that use few words to raise the most profound questions. In Eyes of Mikra, Ms. Mohan has presented us with a novella that does far more than tell a story. One can debate the intended audience (e.g., young adult), but it is not the genre that should occupy our discussion, but, rather, the questions it forces us to ask; the topics into which it asks us to inquire. It is no coincidence that Ms. Mohan’s background informs this novella. While not a published scholar in political science and international affairs, Ms. Mohan’s bachelor’s degree in this area, her exposure to dozens of countries and knowledge of several languages, have undoubtedly led her to probe (at least initially) into profound questions that plaque humanity. Eyes of Mikra offers a glimpse into those questions, and, if one is willing, challenges us to question key basic assumptions about how we view ourselves, “others”, and our perpetually evolving relationship.
The narrative itself is in the first person, and intersperses the protagonist’s story with excerpts from her diary. The writing is deceptively simple; the characters are not overly developed, but this does not take away from the novella’s purpose or flow.
The story involves a soldier, Sunehri Jeevan (the name in Sanskrit means roughly golden bringer of life). Sunehri has lost her memory and has no sense of family or of place, except that which has been imposed upon her by her superiors. This quandary takes place in the midst of a senseless war involving the fictional country of Mikra, which has been divided in to North Mikra and South Mikra. North and South are divided by language, custom and religion. We are not expressly told that these two regions have had their division “officially” recognized by the international community, but this matters little. The conflict in the Sudan leaps to mind as a rough comparison, but the story is not meant to fictionalize any particular conflict, but instead to illustrate the nature of all conflict as it has evolved over the past sixty years; a type of conflict that remains elusive to the understanding of the key powers in the international community.
The novella also prompts us to ask questions about identity and how identity can be constructed for malevolent purposes, as the protagonist, Sunehri, learns nearly too late. Ms. Mohan reminds us of humanity’s tendency to dehumanize and “other-ize” those we consider “the enemy”, often by devolving all such “undesirables” to but single pejorative words or phrases. Sunehri reduces her adversary to a mere letter, referring to her only as “Agent S”, only to realize that the “truth” about her own identity and that of Agent S could not have been more wrong.
Nor does Ms. Mohan want us to forget that those involved in armed conflict around the world are not only “adults”, but often (sometimes usually) children, the involvement of whom is the most unforgivable manifestation of humanity’s enabling of such conflicts.
Such questions have occupied entire libraries of books and scholarly articles. Ms. Mohan uses the medium of (young adult) fiction to remind us, if only briefly, that such questions continue to occupy, or should continue to occupy, humanity’s full attention.

This is a wonderful novel that I completely enjoyed reading
By Thomas Parr
This is a wonderful novel that I completely enjoyed reading. Isvari is a very talented young author. This is her first novel. She has a wonderful aura about her. How can a 17 year old girl (at the time of writing. Now 18), have such a great sense of how it is to be in a war. That is one of the reasons I was so captivated and savored every word of The Eyes of Mikra.
I am looking forward to reading her next novel.
