Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala MarkandayaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A brutally honest portrayal of rural Indian society, the effects of colonialism, and the lives of village folk who endure endless tragedies. It examines the life of a woman in a patriarchal society and her relationships with her husband, children, and various other women and men in her life. Rukmini, the narrator, reflects on her life filled with tragedy, loss, poverty, and love through immersive and palpable language.
