Book Reviews of Nectar in a Sieve (Signet Classics)
Book Review: A Fatalistic Novel
Summary: 4 Stars
It is the time of World War II, and India has just begun to modernize. Rukmani is a poor woman, forced to marry her devoted husband, Nathan, from a lower caste. Through Rukmani's eyes, we see five children grow up in a more or less poverty-striken Indian village. Through drought, monsoons, prostitution, and ultimately, famine, Rukmani shows us all what dignity is. Not only dignity prevails throughout her life, but strength - a strength which comes with much compromise and hardship.
