Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Thakubai settled in well. Rama didn’t care for her cooking, but Mano loved her. Rama could write, lecture, and attend meetings without worry. The room was always tidy. It was a good arrangement. Rama thought she’d helped herself as much as Thakubai. Well, perhaps not quite as much. Nevertheless, it was a good arrangement. Perhaps someday she could acquire a bungalow and open a school for child widows. That would be perfect!
