Catching up on #Bangladesh reading for #FoodandLit which I almost completely missed. Lajja (also titled Shame) is a recount of the 1992 anti-Hindu riots that took place in Bangladesh after the destruction of Babri Masjid & anti-Muslim riots in India, through the eyes of a culturally-Hindu atheist family. I am on page 112 & it is relentless.

Dilara ⬇ not directly relevant to the story and therefore a lot less depressing 😊 3d
Texreader Oh dear. That sounds pretty rough to read. 3d
Dilara @Texreader It is! I am reading it in small chunks - I need regular breathers - and also, I try not to look at the cover, which for my edition, is a young man clearly upset and crying. 3d
