madisonmila's review against another edition
slow-paced
This was interesting, but I still left it feeling a little confused. It felt like it could have been more developed since it was so short. Thank you to Goodreads for the ARC.

I was skeptical about this at first but it’s actually quite a quietly feminist tale wrapped in a beautifully desi cultural air.

This was a pretty entertaining read with vivid characters. Nothing I'll probably remember in a year, but since it was short I don't regret spending the time on it. It helped pass the time quickly on a road trip.

We follow a family and particularly women from 3 generation.
A widow Roshomoyee, the Pishima (maternal aunt) who dies and haunts a new young bride as a ghost.
A new bride Somlata, who is determined to not let the family's wealth dwindle.
A daughter Boshon, Somlata's daughter who is modern, educated and has a sense of not being free.
A fabulous read with lots of giggles and insight into the transition of culture with in few decades in India. I give hats off to the translation. Highly recommended.
Happy Reading!!

A haunting tale of marriage, curses, and rebuilding a family fortune. Oh, and a ghost—with a hidden treasure and a mean streak!
