After 6 years in this town, I realised that our local library has a small section dedicated to short stories. And that's where I found this book.
It is quite interesting, a mixture of feminism and women issues, culture, religion, everyday life and struggles in Bangladesh. As usual, some stories were better than others and made you, well me, they made me crave for more.
I would have liked a few notes from the editors, explaining some things that are not translated because at some point it got tiring to stop reading in order to Google things I didn't know in order to understand the context.
Read it, with a nice bowl of eggplant curry on the side :)
