A review by dhiyanah
The High Priestess Never Marries by Sharanya Manivannan
5.0
I write about this book in my series of blog posts on reading and grief. It's part-review, part-personal essay where I write about two out of the six books that helped me through difficult mourning phases.
"Reading this book was like hosting tidal waves in my guts and I had to let them move through me to find solid ground again. The pain or warmth my heart felt over a too-relatable scene or dialogue or sentence was that of growth and I enjoyed every flower-scented moment of it. I had been planning to write about all this. I had all the words and some of the notes brewing and brewing – and then everything, like time, stopped."
