Sharmila's Book by Bharti Kirchner

anne_abundantcolors's review

3.0

The beginning two thirds of the book were really slow. There are some good insights here and there about India and about the changes happening so quickly. I think the ending is abrupt and sometimes the characters aren't as fully convincing or as fully as they could be. Would Prem really support his wife over his mother? I was not convinced. The betrayals from Sharmila's mother and from her cousin Mistoo were shocking. I did like that the author did not simplify the problems that Neelu would have to face-her dilemma seemed most realistic.

A minor quibble-the typeface bothered me-seemed cheap and a bit hard to read.
