panI couldn‘t connect to this writing as well as the plot. Most of the places I felt the writing is incoherent & the details were frustrating. At few places I felt the repetition of phrases ( e.g description of rickshaws). The story oscillates between past & present, first person narration are the good part. But I am disappointed with the MC Antara. You won‘t feel for her. May beI did not like the character at all it made me irritated. Cont..👇🏻
Blackink_WhitePaper It‘s depressing & disturbing story. It‘s #setinIndia but failed miserably to depict the modern India. May be I expected more since it‘s short listed for Booker. As a biochemist I enjoyed the details of Kreb cycle etc but I don‘t think it was necessary for the story line. Mine is an unpopular opinion so if you are planning to read it don‘t judge it based on this review. 😬 2⭐️/5 #booked2020 #setinIndia #readingwithmaja #releasedin2020![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Girl in White Cotton: A NovelCinfhen I listened to the audio and was easily pulled into the story due to the hypnotic tone of the narrator‘s voice. I don‘t think I would‘ve enjoyed this book in print. I agree, it was hard to get a sense of place but I felt like I got a glimpse of the culture. 4y
Cinfhen Interesting the different titles!!! 4y
Blackink_WhitePaper @Cinfhen yes... Some books are better in print while some books are better in audio. I was surprised by the different titles too😅 I like this cover better than the burnt sugar😜🥰 (edited) 4y
