In a country where anything erotic becomes strictly hush-hush, Sreemoyee Piu Kundu pens Sita's Curse that boldly captures the essence of a woman who struggles with the shackles of a prudish society before breaking out and empowering herself with the freedom to reach out and explore what is denied to her.
Summary of the Book
The beautiful Meera Patel struggles under the weight of a dead marriage that far from satisfies her natural urges. She lets herself be bound in the confines of her household duties, managing to survive on mere memories and fantasies for fifteen years. When the stress of pretending to be the docile housewife that she is not gets to her, she breaks boundaries and defiantly explores the opportunity presented in the city of Mumbai to satisfy the cravings of mind, soul and body…. mostly body. The cataclysm that ensues changes her life forever - she has to choose between fighting a hypocritical society to make herself happy or bury her emotions forever.
