Dava Shastri's Last Day by Kirthana Ramisetti
4.0
truly enjoyed this book and will be recommending it to my mom. loved how it contrasted all of dava's hard work with the "struggles" of her kids, and revealing her life in small tidbits. having immigrant parents myself, this is how i feel about them, all i know is things that i have been around for until they drop little tidbits that shock me.
this was such an interesting family dyanic. dava shastri a fully ethnic indian women married arvid cant remember his last name (a swedish man) adding to the overpopulated world of wasians. the dynamic and pressure she feels as an indian women is so understood to me, as an indian women. the drive and pressure she feels to be a women of her own, not in relation to her husband or any other man is inspirational to me.
dava's life story was truly intersting to me. her struggle between family and work, and making sacrifices in the wrong places is something that i truly understand, and even the more taboo topics in indian households like pregnancy before marriage and even major choices like infidelity.
i liked that dava controlled her life including when she died, especially considering her sickness. her kids are lowkey toxic af tho. like boohoo you are a nepo baby, go do something w ur life and stop being a hater. especially arvie like dude can u go to therapy and fix ur problems, u are so manipulatie and toxic and the reason why the world does not need more wasian men. the narrative of the story was so incredible and the perspectives of each character varied but it left me with the message, what do you do for others. truly enjoyed reading this
