Water – September or October 2006
Review originally published in SBU’s The Stony Brook Press
(Updated and additional notes are further below.)
"Water is an impressive work of art. It is a story that touches upon a variety of issues, concerns, and emotions. It questions the treatment of India's widows: past, present, and future. When a husband dies the wife has one of three options. The most likely to be selected (*the hope is at least) is to live in a Widows House and there she will remain unmarried, to wear white linen robes, and keep a shaved head. Their lives are spent mourning their loss.
