Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
“They’re interested in you because you’re like the women of ancient India — educated and independent. You can prove their conviction that Hinduism is corrupt and must be brought back to its true essence.”
“You spoke to them about me?”
“Of course. These men advocate women’s education. You’re the living example of their commitment to social reform. A young, beautiful, demure adult woman who has her wits about her. A Shastri is nothing special in Calcutta, but you’re a shining star.”
