Compelling and Thought-Provoking
Revisado: 11-25-23
I'm not usually a fan of futuristic novels, but I was a huge fan of Bina Shah's The Monsoon War. I love books that continually make you think while also making you eager to know what happens next: page by page, scene by scene. (And ultimately, how will everything be resolved?!) And that's exactly how I felt about this compelling novel. The characters feel real, as do the dire situations the women face, of their choosing and not of their choosing. The situations they find themselves in, though obviously the work of a gifted fantasist, often (too often!) mirror the realities of women today, in way too much of the world. In that way I was reminded of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Plus, the narrator's performance is excellent: she embodies the characters convincingly. I await Bina Shah's next novel!
