The action doesn’t let up for a minute neither do the jokes. Marvel and is an exciting start to what is sure to be an excellent series. This middle-grade adventure is perfect for fans of Rick Riordan or Ms.
Unapologetic and real, they embrace the entire range of the human experience, from the sweetest of loves and sacrifices to the most horrific of crimes. I really enjoyed The Serpent’s Secret, Sayantani Dasgupta’s first installment in her new series Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond. They are friends, lovers, wives, sisters and mothers. They are violent and nurturing, sacred and profane. In this wildly original and hauntingly subversive collection of short stories, Sayantani Dasgupta brings to life unforgettable women and their quest for agency. An aunt comes to terms with an impulsive mistake committed decades ago. A wife weighs the odds of staying in her marriage when both her reality and the alternative are equally frightening. A dutiful daughter seeks to impress her father even as she escapes his reach. A group of girls mourns the loss of their strange, mysterious neighbour. At a party to celebrate her friend s wedding anniversary, a young woman spills a dangerous secret. Women Who Misbehave, much like the women within its pages, contains multitudes and contradictions-it is imaginative and real, unsettling and heartening, funny and poignant, dark and brimming with light.
