The Sea of Innocence
Kishwar Desai

India, a country where a number of women who are raped and molested each and everyday yet has number of tourist attractions which attracts thousands of tourists each and every year. And this is the story of a young girl, who came to India as a tourist and then decided to settle down there.

The story tell about how corrupted the system is and what they have to pay if they interrupt the usual way which things are done. This talks about how everyone becomes entangled in the system and when they try to come out, they have to pay a huge price for that.

Though this story is told in a quite good manner, I can't help but notice how Simran acts quite stupid in some instances. For example, she has no hesitation in accepting drinks from total strangers even when she knew that they were somewhat responsible for the murder. And she blindly continues the relationship with Marian, even when she knows that Marian is not telling the complete truth. These aspects made the story unbelievable.

In my opinion author's Origins of Love was a much better story than this.
