Ritu recently finished reading “The Silent Raga” by Ameen Merchant, and found it captivating:
Perhaps the most poignant parts of the book deal with the mental breakdown of the father that Mallika first blames on her sister’s departure. In reality though, the father, somewhere deep inside knows that he had deeply wronged his first born, a shame that manifests itself in the form of a mental illness that requires him to be institutionalised.
Although the review contains a few spoilers, I will read the book now if I can lay my hands on a copy!
