Back in London

 Mit meinem neuen Buch bin ich zurück in London - dieses Mal in der indischen Gemeinde. Wie in der orthodox-jüdischen Gemeinde ist auch hier das Leben von strengen Regeln geprägt und auch Nikki, die Protagonistin in diesem Roman hält sich nicht ganz an das eingeschränkte Leben einer jungen Inderin. Ich habe etwa ein Drittel gelesen und es gefällt mir bisher sehr gut, schließlich geht es um das Schreiben erotischer Stories. Bemerkenswert dabei ist, das diese Geschichten von Witwen dieser indischen Gemeinde geschrieben werden.

 

Mein neues Buch:

Balli Kaur JASWAL
Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows

Description: Every woman has a secret life... When Nikki takes a creative writing job at her local temple, with visions of emancipating the women of the community she left behind as a self-important teenager, she's shocked to discover a group of barely literate women who have no interest in her ideals. Yet to her surprise, the white dupatta of the widow hides more than just their modesty - these are women who have spent their lives in the shadows of fathers, brothers and husbands; being dutiful, raising children and going to temple, but whose inner lives are as rich and fruitful as their untold stories. But as they begin to open up to each other about womanhood, sexuality, and the dark secrets within the community, Nikki realises that the illicit nature of the class may place them all in danger. East meets west and tradition clashes with modernity in a thought-provoking cross-cultural novel that might make you look again at the women in your life…
