bhavnaanil 's review for:

The Lesson by Sowmya Rajendran

5.0

---

This is a chilling account of the horrors that women endure in India, and I'm so surprised that it flew under the radar. Whoever wrote the blurb calling it dystopian satire has to be kidding himself - this is too uncomfortably real to be called dystopian, and satire? Nothing about this is amusing. 1984 came and went without ado, but the reality in this book feels eerily imminent.
