Their Language Of Love by Bapsi Sidhwa, Bapsi Sidhwa
4.0
This was a strange reading experience for me. The first half of the book didn’t really grab my attention, I was thinking that “eh, these stories are ok, not her best work” and so on. In the first half, I enjoyed the backdrop and political set-up of the stories more than the actual plot but the last two stories - Sehra Bai and Defend Yourself Against Me - invoked a lot of emotion in me. Those are ones that I will remember because Sidhwa is undoubtedly at her best. I think I’ll carry her writing with me for the rest of my life, because never in my life have I felt represented and I genuinely feel like she can tell our stories like no one else.
