Madras on Rainy Days

Here’s another book that I enjoyed reading: Madras on Rainy Days by Samina Ali. There are so many issues that were a shocker for me in this novel. I have never had a closer look into the Muslim family in India. I must say that it was surprising that how insecure some of them may feel in their own country. All the killings in the name of God and religion are unforgivable sin.

Another issue brought out in this novel that was a shocker for me was homosexuality in India. Also, it was surprising to see how subservient and naïve Layla was in spite of being brought up in America. I wonder if I would think of Layla being subservient and naïve when I was 20. Probably not!
