emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

5.0

I give this book 5 billion stars and a 'please, please, PLEASE read it' prize. This is a short novella that really packs a punch and is so relevant to modern day India, especially with the mounting religious tensions in India today. Heart-breaking, reflective and a masterpiece of character building. I cannot wait to read more from Annie!
