The High Priestess Never Marries by Sharanya Manivannan

3.0

She is telling a tale because she trusts you. She trusts you because she believes, you would understand her emotions she didn't say.
The author has written words, and left it to the reader of what kind of a connection one can make.

Certainly, love is not a product to bound a person from performing in other areas of life. One shouldn't just love and not seek the pain to grow in life.

Love is a product to transform you, strengthen you, build you to become independent and free yourself from all the compulsions.

This book makes women understand how important it is to know what you need when they are growing up. There are stories of betrayal, hurt, and how to recover from a heartbreak. The stories are written in a poetic realm. The language is rich and becomes a headache to catch the flow. But, as I said they are written in a poetic way so it also gets a bit friendly to read and dedicate attention for a certain period, but then again you are lost in a canvas.

There are various distractions I sorted out reading the stories. One is; in modest societies, extra-marital and pre-marital relationships are never acceptable, but the way it is shown in the book is quite disturbing. The women showed, they are decision makers and know what is best for them. So, from this angle I am in two thoughts.

This book empowers women to show valiant approach after betrayals, loss and separation, but also teaches how to involve themselves in another romantic relationship and then another, and the chain goes on? I rebuked those conceptions.

The consequences in stories were of some happy moments, in some of the greivances and in some a mournful ending.
