A beautiful poetry collection telling the coming of age story of Paro. I learned a lot about partition and the Hindu Gods and Goddesses! Gill remains one of my favorite poets and this collection was a unique one

4.0

going into this, i knew nothing about the stories it would share and the lessons it would teach. in fact, i thought it was going to be another publication of ‘instagram poetry’. i am glad i was wrong.

gill’s novel in verse is a story of true inspiring womanhood, sexuality, learning to be comfortable in your own skin and the journey of finding your place in the world. it is magic incarnate. i have discreetly loved narrative poetry for a while now and gill makes me want to scream my love from the mountain tops.
