This novella is the prequel to Wangu's stunning The Last Suttee. Here's what the critics say:
A haunting, rich narrative on the struggle of faith, custom and social hierarchy in modern times . . . The gorgeous language brings alive the complex world through sounds, smells, colors and tastes. -Hilary HauckThe Last Suttee is an engaging adventure story well told. It explores many of the cultural obstacles facing girls in India. Kumud, the heroine, shows how one person can be an agent of change. -Professor, Smith College
Madhu Bazaz Wangu's writing is full of rich descriptions that engage the senses and make you feel part of each setting. -Martha Swiss
What woman among us doesn't immediately resonate to varying degrees with the protagonist's remark that '... a woman faces elimination at every stage of her life'? Read this book to sharpen your awareness and to understand the tools for positive change. -Gale Oare
Threads of spirituality, and myth are skillfully woven throughout the tale and make 'The Last Suttee' a wonderful story and an authentic and unique work of art! (Rosemary Hanrahan)
