‘The Tigress’ is punished for liberating herself from pain and misery. An unlikely friendship between a school teacher and a child who sells tea leads to unexpected situations. After a woman realizes she misidentified her rapist, she makes it her life’s mission to fight for the wrongfully convicted. This book is a collection of eight such compelling narratives where ordinary people are In Pursuit of a New Dawn. Anirban ‘Andy’ Bhattacharyya looks at life that exists between right and wrong and delves into the transformative power of the human will in driving social change. This is a sensitive and evocative exploration of social stigmas, systemic biases and disparities, and how kinship and allyship can help dismantle inequity. These thought-provoking stories will inspire and compel readers to take action and bring about the change they want to see in the world.
The book comprises eight different stories with a varied range of emotions which we feel but couldn't express. The author has done an impeccable job with the expression and his flawless writing where the emotions start to feel raw and real.
The stories are certainly thought provoking and in accordance with the title of the book 'In pursuit of a new dawn'. After reading every story you'd feel when the times will change, when we will witness a new dawn.
A couple of stories are heartwarming where the main protagonists find themselves in a predicament where unconventional friendships are formed, some stories are guilt-ridden, some of them are the mirror of the society we live in irrespective of how modern we think we have become, where such profanities still exist.
I loved this book and highly recommend it to those who actually want to understand the nuances of life.
