"Letters in the Sand" by Hema Macherla (English Edition)
If you enjoyed Breeze from the River Manjeera and Blue Eyes, you’ll love this new novel from best-selling author, Hema Macherla. Set in the 70s in a small village in India, Letters in the Sand is an engaging story of one girl’s quiet rebellion against her traditional, dysfunctional family and their non-negotiable plans to marry her at fifteen to any suitable boy.
‘I was no better than a cow, brushed and groomed, neck and ankles festooned with bells, flowers around its horns to be put on display for someone to choose.’
