This week's book:
Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows
by Balli Kaur Jaswal
I bought this book a while ago because I heard great things about it. Reese Witherspoon even has this novel on her reading list. I started the novel sometime last year and then kept getting sidetracked with a lot of other books. Well, this month I have been trying to clear some of my TBR pile of books, and for the most part all the books I've read this month have been on my bookshelf for months (or over a year).
This book is about a young Indian woman who is at a crossroads of life. She starts to teach a class for widowed women so they can learn to read and write. While the class starts out being somewhat awkward, her students start writing erotic stories they have either imagined or experienced. The class teaches everyone in the class, teacher included, to open up and become more understanding women.
The novel is very pro-women and encouraging. There is a little mystery plot as well with the story, but I don't want to give too much away.
I would recommend this book if you want a fun read.
