The book can be read in a single sitting and is gripping and to the point that you won't be able to stop however you try .
it discusses a story of a girl with immense dignity and self-respect .
the writing is flawless and so is the plot.
lalita, girindra and shekhar's mom are the best characters . It might not sound good but shekhar's character is the one I don't like .
spoiler alert!!
if his father wont have died who would have married any other woman because he was a coward . lalita was poor , a teenage girl and then also she was strong enough to not marry a man who stood by them , she did not surrender . but shekhar was accompolished, educated, adult and then also could not a stand for his marriage, only because lalita's mama changed his caste. If he was so afraid of reality he should not have consented to lalita of his love for her . shekhar was just a coward person in my opinion .
peace out shekhar
