Book Review: Amba Pali by Tanushree Podder
Review by: Mary CBC
I never thought I would read a book like Amba Pali. It is not something I usually pick for myself. I got it in a book haul, almost by accident. But I am so glad I did. It is one of those books that flows so effortlessly, you do not feel like you are reading. You are simply absorbing a story that is quietly powerful.
There is something deeply comforting about the simplicity of this novel. You do not need to overthink or analyse. You just follow a woman’s journey, her internal tug of war between desire and duty, palace and peace, head and heart.
Amba Pali is a woman who had everything the world could offer, wealth, beauty, fame. But what she truly yearned for was so simple, a home, a kind husband, children, and a life wrapped in ordinary joy.
The book gently shows how women often suffer because of how the world misreads them, how they are torn between what they want and what they are expected to be.
