Why read it?
1 author picked A Patchwork Family as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Crimes again women are discussed ad nauseam in the media but this was the first time I read a novel that made the subject painfully uncomfortable for me by telling the story not in the voice of the victim but through the reflections of a witness who probes everyone’s culpability, including her own. This powerful debut shines a very revealing light on what it means to be a comfortably middle-class Indian.
From Anjum's list on contemporary Indian novels you have never heard of.
