It’s a rare moment in Indian history when the entire nation united. The citizens, the political parties, even CPM. The TV news broadcasted the collective intellect of people and wanted Afzal Guru to be sentenced to capital punishment. Afzal who was convicted for Attack On Parliament was hanged on the basis of confessions and “they looked Pakistanis”. But what really happened on Dec 13, 2001?!

The history associated with the book is what intrigued me to buy it. The famous trial and the book not being released for many years in England was the highlight for me. 17 pages into the book, Lawrence’s writing style is I’d say explicit for 1920s.

For now all you should know is that it’s a book that explores women’s sexuality and rebellion at an unusual time which makes it groundbreaking.
