Status Updates From Heart Lamp: Selected Stories

Interesting. Still figuring out this author and these stories. I saw some criticism that the translation left something to be desired and I’m wondering about that too; even as someone who understands the language, I feel like some of the emotion or heart is missing in English.

Very readable short stories about Muslim women's experience in the caste, patriarchal and religious systems in southern India. The stories are tragic, witty, thought provoking and original. Reading for a book group and I think it's a great choice

genuinely in awe, there is so much sadness woven into every page that it breaks me
