Book Reviews

Sonali Swain shares a curated list of five must-read books for women, offering diverse perspectives across various genres. The list includes Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s We Should All Be Feminists, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Palace of Illusions, and Katy Brent’s How to Kill Men and Get Away with It, among others, encouraging self-awareness and reflection on societal norms.

Pronounced Guilty delves into second chances and societal redemption. Through the intertwined journeys of Vijendra, Dushyant, and Anusuya—each grappling with loss and stigma—it questions the rigidity of the legal system and our labels of “criminal.” A powerful narrative advocating humane reform, it inspires empathy, action, and belief in new beginnings.
