The Rape Trial
Author: Bidisha Ghosal
Pages: 548



Rape is a horrific crime which we encounter every other day in newspapers and news. What has led people to behave in such a inhumane manner? We get to read about girls being raped by unknown people/strangers but what if we know the person and think of them as ours. We get to read about these incidences but hardly we get to see the victims getting justice. By the time the justice is given to the victims or sufferers these criminals get some or the other loop hole to get out of this whole situation. And they live on their life as if nothing has happened only to make life hell for these innocent life’s. What is the fault of these girls? Why do girls have to go through so much of suffering? Is it only because they are born as girls? What if the system fails to give them justice and they themselves take things in their hands? We get to encounter a similar situation in this story. To know more read ‘The Rape Trial’.

My Thoughts:

                The plot is well written. Rape is a very sensitive topic and I must say that the author has handled it in a very excellent manner and will surely not hurt anyone’s feelings.

                The characters are well developed. The author has explained each character in detail which makes them familiar to the readers. The way all the characters plan to teach a lesson to the person who commits this whole crime and help the victim is excellent.

                The language is simple and lucid and the author has narrated the story very well. The flow of the story will surely keep the readers hooked till the end of the book.

                The cover page depicts the characters of the book and we can definitely see the feeling that they are trying to depict the title of the book is also very intriguing. Both will surely make the readers to pick up this book.

                Overall, it was a good read and I would surely recommend it to all the readers.

My Rating: 5/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity?

Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people.

This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair.

However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
