RaveNovel Visits\"Make no mistake about it, Shobha Rao has written a brave, powerful debut. She imbued her women with their own personalities and strengths, held them to the fire, broke them down, and forced them to adapt. I admire her courage in telling this story, but I can only recommend it with caveats. To read this book you’ll also need to be strong and courageous. You need to know that much of the journey will be appalling. It will grab hold of you in ways you won’t like. It still hasn’t let go of me, and I really wish it would.\
