This week I finished Wet Silence by Sweta Srivastava Vikram, she tells the stories of Hindu widows who are voiceless as a result of their widowhood.
Each woman's unique story challenged my perceptions by being unashamed and honest. However, some of the poems, in my opinion, were too short to convey the story of an entire marriage. There were several that left me with unanswered questions, which I found interesting.
The glossary in the back of the book was fantastic, it helped me understand many of the terms used.
I will be rereading my favorites in the future.
If you would like your own copy you can find the book here: Wet Silence
I received a free copy of Wet Silence in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are my own.
