First
of all I would like to appreciate the writers and the publishing house who are
doing great with the promotion of this book and thank them for asking me to
review this book. A few days ago I received a mail from Amrita foundation
asking me to review this book, it truly was an honor since this is the first
time I was requested for a review.
Now
coming to the book, She (Ekla chalo re) is a beautiful short story that describes
from gender stereotypes to fitting in a society pressure in the most basic and
beautiful way.
The
book (more like a booklet) comprises of around 50 pages and explains biggest of
issues in our country in shortest of words. The writing is beautiful and though
the subject is controversial the narration is not filled with angst and sorrow.
It is a very light read but gives a very strong message. I personally loved the
ending. Santhosh Avvannavar (the writer) is brilliant in storytelling and I hope
to read more works by him in the future. I again appreciate the publishing
house for releasing this book and hope to see this story flourish and reach a
larger audience.
If
any Tumblrian can see this post, I'd ask each and every one of them to read
this book because all the lgbt community supporters and gender equality
supporters in tumblr would be so happy to find out a success story in the
issue.
If
I had to explain my reaction to
this book in one gif, it would be this.
WOW!
I'd
like to give this book a five star rating, hands down. Great going guys. Keep
up the work!
