A review by byronic_reader
A Married Woman by Manju Kapur

3.0

I am just overwhelmed. I never guessed that this book will be poignant and melancholic with the first few chapters. I expected a bit of drama, but I got more than what I signed up for.

A Married Woman is unapologetically sensual and political. I thought it is about a woman exploring her sexuality but it also explores what is to be a woman of "modern India". Set in the backdrops of Babar Masjid Demolition, it also talks about the hypocrisy of Indians and the Indian Household. Kapur's writing is unapologetically desi and I totally enjoyed it. So much love, loss, hope, helplessness, and more love.

Mood: dramatic, melancholic and poignant
