review 1: I started this book because it seemed like a fun read when I read the book jacket. This is not a fun read. Yes, it's easy to get through, the writing is not complicated, but the topics discussed hit me pretty hard. Growing up outside of India, I had heard of some of the circumstances described in this book, but never experienced them or even thought they were real. The portrayal of women in this book was both shocking and awe-inspiring. Although it took me some time to get used to the fact that this wasn't a happy-go-lucky story, and these women faced many hardships, I couldn't put the book till I finished it.
review 2: I thought the idea for the story was just great; unfortunately the writing and character development was pretty poor. The language used and sen... moretence structures read like something grossly simplified for teenagers, and the book as a whole was a little like a soap opera - slightly unbelievable developments just kept happening which would conveniently roll the story along, and at the end all the loose ends were neatly tied up to the heroine's liking. Not to mention the one-dimensional characters you couldn't connect to emotionally because they were paper thin. Interesting, but not enough to save this book. less

Portrays vividly the picture of rural India where struggle for power,exploitation suprstition and good and evil nature of human beings are interwoven beautifully to form a gripping story. Full of surprises and very readable....

¡Me encanto! Que buena historia. Aveces triste, aveces feliz, pero siempre entretenida.

Typical Indian story. More twists and turns than a plate of spaghetti.
