I read this book in the liminal space that is public transport in one sitting so I found the experecience of reading it quite intense.
The book covers a lot of different subjects about one woman's life, the experiences she went through and how It affected her actions and sense if self.
I'd never read a book set in India so it was interesting to see the traditions the characters partook in.
The art style in the graphic novel is not really my vibe and at times it was difficult to understand what the pictures were, but there were times where that added to my understanding of the characters mental space at that particular time.

'Pain was the chorus of her song' A captivating but heartbreaking read. It reads like a dark beautiful dream. The prose and illustration are poetic and packed with metaphors which ones unpacks as they go through the novel. A recommended read.

O estilo de desenho é muito giro e é estranhamente metafórico para uma novela gráfica! Also, maminhas!

THE ENDING. i need to know more but its been so many years… it was good, the writing in the graphic novel and formatting almost seemed more poetic. i was confused at some parts - it was good but nothing spectacular to me, i might bump this up to a 3.5 !!
