The Dark Holds No Terrors by Shashi Deshpande

3.0

A lot of people (including those who recommended it to me) would rightly love this book. It's beautifully written and quite haunting but really wasn't my cup of tea. If you enjoy philosophical writing on the changing role of women in historically oppressive societies it's a wonderful read. As much as I love the idea of philosophical writing on the changing role of women in historically oppressive societies, I find very frequently that I don't enjoy the process of reading it (maybe because it ends up feeling more like a "process" than a literary journey.)
