pickYikes. This was rough.
For the question: Who is the Guardian?
Yourself
Who is the Thief?
Yourself
It's all by circumstances & circumstances change, given your need.
Are you willing to do what you need to survive?
Are you willing to lie to yourself about that?
It's always about the survival of yourself & those you hold close.
Judge not...Etc etc.
pickA difficult to book to read. Set in a very near future Kolkata where the heat and floods have led to poverty, many residents are emigrating to the US on climate visas.
Ma is one of those and, along with her father and 2 year old daughter she has just obtained their passports to join her husband in the US, when her bag is stolen.
Life gets worse and worse as they mount a desperate search for the thief - a very dark book but also unputdownable.
This book is so intense that I‘m having physical reactions while reading it. I step away for a bit and come back to it because I can‘t put it down. #arc
