sukriti's Book Journey

This would be biased because I really adore Munshiji's works, but I am glad I finally got the time to complete this book.

He did a great job depicting the women in the story, and unlike a lot of authors he manages to portray men and their disregard towards the women in their lives without glorifying it, or making it seem like an ideology the narrator also shares.

The ending was sudden but not rushed, and really gives the reader the space to think about what just happened and look back at the characters and their quirks.

The backdrop of India under the British rule was used really beautifully too and gave an insight I had never really considered before.

It was a fun read and I know I will go back to it again in the future.
