Welcome to Litsy!

Set in India today,the novel is told mainly from the perspective of the two main characters Sera,a middle class woman and Bhima,her servant.Both women are in their fifties with adult children.In flashbacks we learn about their lives,the hardships they both faced and how they each supported one another throughout the years in different ways.What separates them is class.Story is predictable and could have been cut,writing is beautiful.

It took over a month for my slump to get over, and I just read one book in May. My #currentread is helping me get my groove back. This is a #blameitonlitsy read and I‘m enjoying it so far. Happy Weekend!

August pick #12booksof2021 By far one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking books I‘ve ever read! I don‘t give 5⭐️ often, but when I do it‘s a book that will stay with me for a long time.

Bhima works for Dubash‘s household and Serabai is a well-off Parsi housewife. They share a strange friendship due to their close ties, however, not to overcome the social class norms. The story is filled with heartbreak, sacrifices, poverty and domestic abuse. Each woman suffers from their own destinies and circumstances.

I really enjoyed their inner dialogues revealing their thoughts and reasonings to have a better insight into the characters.

Listened to the rest of this beautiful book during my 3 hour chemo treatment that I have ice packs on my hands and feet. I loved it. I wanted to cry and hug Bhima. So much heartbreak but so beautifully written! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 All the stars!!! Book 1 finished for #awesomeaugust

Untouchable is a fact fiction work which is a must read if you want to understand the vicious impact of the caste system in India, during the 1900s. Brilliant writing which is both an interesting and educational read. My full review is on my blog www.anushareflects.com

I really enjoyed this, even though it is filled with profound sadness and injustices and I hated nearly all the male characters.

Will finish 20th Victim today and then these may be my others this week.
Work will probably be another hot mess so I‘m not pinning my hopes on much reading.
Happy Sunday ❤️

A captivating story about two women who, if not for the social class they were born in, could have been the best of friends. Beautifully written and thought-provoking. Great on audio, too!
