Second Wife 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

by Premchand (Author), David Rubin (Translator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 5 ratings
See all formats and editions
Charming and cultivated, Nirmala's only sin is her failure to get a husband who would accept her without a dowry. She is married off to a widower... This novel captures the depth of suffering of the characters Nirmala comes in contact with, and yet the book does not fall into melodrama that would have happened with any lesser writer.

The realistic dramatisation of the family events is peculiarly Indian, but based on universal human experience, transcending geographical boundaries and barriers of culture.

The book was recommended to me. I found it to be well-written and realistic. I can't say I loved the storyline.

A nastiness that is typical of the Indian culture perfectly captured in prose.
