    Bapsi Sidwha never lets me down!
  

*by M***5 on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2008*

I love this author and this book, albeit from a movie screenplay, doesn't fail.  It is a great story that holds your interest straight through until the last page.  I guess that I should not reveal the ending.The loss of childhood innocence and the helpless existence of pre-Ghandian India for widows no matter the age, creates the background for this novel.  You can try all you want but there is no way to identify with the main character even though personally I am a widow.It astounds me throughout the reading that some women even could adapt to this ashram and it's grotesque "leader" but without a doubt this is what happens in many places of the world, even today.Another great read from a favorite author.The One Eyed Turtle

I saw Deepa Mehta’s movie by the same title, years ago. I found it to be a deeply moving film. I loved the book, which is very close to the movie, just as much. The storyline is interesting but also troubling,  and the characters represent all that is good, and all that is bad, in humans. The book also offers a fascinating and horrifying glimpse into India’s history and culture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    What an insight
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2022*

What an incredible look into a world I know little about. It is absolutely heartbreaking to see how women and girls have been treated in the name of religion or tradition. In this book we follow Chuyia's  story from child bride to her escape/liberation from the Ashram  she was relegated to after her husbands death. Like I said, this is not for the faint of heart, it is horrific and gut wrenching.
