Gain Your Copy The Green Rose Articulated By Sharmila Mukherjee Distributed As Readable Copy

little book, gifted to the world, It's not a bad read but the problem with it is that the narrator 'tells' instead of 'shows' and everything is told literally in the narration and there is no space for the reader's imagination.


It almost reads like a diary and every character is sketched out and doesn't have any room for growth.


It feels like something for the middle grade even though the protagonist in the novel is supposedly older.
Messages are preached and there is no other way for the reader to read it, other than the way the author wants it to be read.
The green rose is about 'Indian Lesbians' as the author likes to call it, I had to run through some parts because they sound as if the author has gone on a blabberwalk, continuously repeating the same things through out the story.
A good description is a must, I agree, but after a point the reader accustoms to it and no further description is required.

A pathetitc read altogether, To be a lesbian is to be different, Its to be like the green rose amongst the red,

Growing in the posh confines of south Delhi, the beautiful and accomplished Charu is a coveted match.
However, all the matchmaking seems to fail when no dream marriage with a foreignposted groom seems to materializemuch to the amazement of speculating, fat Punjabi aunties of her neighbourhood and of her middleclass Bengali parents.
Only Charu knows the reason, A reason which till now shes hidden from everyone, even herselfthat shes a lesbian,

But one lesson in

love from the lady in the neighbourhood, and Charu knows there is no turning back on the truth.
Not even when she wishes things were different, for her parents sake, .
