Welcome to Litsy!

Set in India today,the novel is told mainly from the perspective of the two main characters Sera,a middle class woman and Bhima,her servant.Both women are in their fifties with adult children.In flashbacks we learn about their lives,the hardships they both faced and how they each supported one another throughout the years in different ways.What separates them is class.Story is predictable and could have been cut,writing is beautiful.

I am sad to see this series come to end. Overall, I think the author did an excellent job world building — Owens really brings you into this caste filled world. Beautifully done. Additionally, Fie‘s journey in this book is unique and made this a real page turner for me. The only critique I had was the repetitive themes of trust between Fie and Tavin. But the way that this series wrapped up made it well worth my time.
My review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)

It took over a month for my slump to get over, and I just read one book in May. My #currentread is helping me get my groove back. This is a #blameitonlitsy read and I‘m enjoying it so far. Happy Weekend!

August pick #12booksof2021 By far one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking books I‘ve ever read! I don‘t give 5⭐️ often, but when I do it‘s a book that will stay with me for a long time.

Excellent ending. Great story!

Bhima works for Dubash‘s household and Serabai is a well-off Parsi housewife. They share a strange friendship due to their close ties, however, not to overcome the social class norms. The story is filled with heartbreak, sacrifices, poverty and domestic abuse. Each woman suffers from their own destinies and circumstances.

I really enjoyed their inner dialogues revealing their thoughts and reasonings to have a better insight into the characters.

Listened to the rest of this beautiful book during my 3 hour chemo treatment that I have ice packs on my hands and feet. I loved it. I wanted to cry and hug Bhima. So much heartbreak but so beautifully written! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 All the stars!!! Book 1 finished for #awesomeaugust

Untouchable is a fact fiction work which is a must read if you want to understand the vicious impact of the caste system in India, during the 1900s. Brilliant writing which is both an interesting and educational read. My full review is on my blog www.anushareflects.com
