A book by Shreemoyee Piu Kundu.
Somewhere, behind closed doors,
in her solitary world;
Somewhere, under the sheets with an indifferent lover;
Somewhere, is a woman who will not be denied..
Words printed on the back cover of the book. It got me intrigued. A story about a middle class woman trapped in a dead marriage with no love, no respect and no sex.
Living in a clamped house with her husband, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and a child she peeks into the active sexual life of her BIL/SIL, envying every moment of their passionate lives.
A book which carries you to flashback and the present life of Sita, we get to see a whole lot of colours and emotions involved when it comes to fulfilling a women's desires.
From a Fifteen year old Sita who ventures into a short lived lesbian affair, to the Sita who expresses her distress on her wedding night and finally coming to a Sita who breaks all shackles and enters a full filling sexual relation with her lover.
The journey is quite interesting and makes you wonder how far ahead are you in your own relation. :)
