The Dark Holds No Terrors by Shashi Deshpande

3.0

For a novel that details nothing less than the emancipation of a woman's soul, I was oddly unmoved. Sunita's numbness is a rhetorical device but also, unfortunately, infects the writing. My curiosity about modern Indian literature was only slightly sated though, so as a spur to more reading, I am grateful.
