The Broken Tooth (Paperback, Shivani Sethi)

The book weaves you through the battles and sacrifices of a generation for the freedoms that the millennials struggle with even today. A fictional commentary of plots looks at homosexuality, nymphomania, mental health, dowry and women's inheritance from the lens of the protagonist Parvati. She fearlessly fights tyrannical patriarchy on one hand and questionable state institutions on the other which are not only scarring women but also men and society at large. The story, through the metaphor of the broken tooth quests to break the old moulds, takes you through the pains of an inevitable metamorphosis, for the new to bloom. Will Parvati's tattered capè of courage be a beacon of liberation?
