review 1: Random browsing landed me on this book.. I havent heard of the author and thought will just pick it up and i am so glad i did. In the Convent of Little Flowers by Indu Sundersan is a heavy book, yet the book doesnt weigh on you.. A collection of short stories which deal with various issues like adoption, old age, selfless love, jealousy, lust. It reminds you a little of classics as the author beautifully outlines the emotions, the set up.. Like she mentions " The intense moment" a person feels at various events in life and you can relate to them.. Quick and breezy read which makes you ponder a little and at times, you might just be caught nodding your head unknowingly, as you agree and relate to them!
review 2: This book was a series of short stories based in ... moreIndia. It was a little depressing for me. I would have loved to have had a few more happpier stories mixed in with the depressing ones. Some themes that I found most prominent throughout the stories were greed, elder abuse, and of course women being treated like chattel. Not my favorite topics, however, it was an easy and fast read. I don't think I would recommend this book but I understand the novels that the author Indu Sundarsan wrote are quite wonderful. less
