This collection of six short stories is a beautiful, poignant and sometimes dark glimpse into everyday life in India. Each story is about the tensions, secrets and undercurrents of family life. They are beautifully written, you can't help but be entranced by Poornima Manco's writing. The only drawback for me was that with such short stories, as soon as I was finding my rhythm with one it was suddenly over and onto the next one. Apart from that though, a stunning collection, and I look forward to seeing what Manco produces in the future.
