A propos de l'auteur

Merrily Weisbord found Das's work so compelling that she flew to South India to meet her. The Love Queen of Malabar is the story of their decade-long friendship, an experiment in mutual revelation. Recounting the development of their relationship, Weisbord relates the dramatic events of Das's life, afficher plus including her transition from celibacy to sexual awakening at age sixty-seven when, provoking the greatest scandal of her notorious life, she converted to Islam for love and renewal. afficher moins

The valour and the horror: The untold story of… par Merrily Weisbord

Coming out before there was much discussion of PTSD, and the other horrors of the Second World War, this book upset those who would like to see history in very simple terms, and relay on "Jingoism" as a mind set. Real life isn't like that and this prose work arising from a TV documentary tries to expand the original work. WWII was a horrific Cataclysm, and those who were caught up in it, did in fact suffer. It gets an extra one half star because it deals with my country.
