A book with a message, a purpose and a thought along with a wish for better tidings for you, me and the world. This book is not just about conflict but the human element that gets obliterated in between. I am reading this book right now and I feel the need to share these stories…no reality with the world.
Pick this book for a thought – provoking and urging into action kind of read. More when I review it.
The Dove’s Lament
by
Kirthi Jayakumar
The Blurb
The Dove’s Lament is a journey that takes you around the world, bringing to life the human side of conflicts that tear people apart. From the genocide in Rwanda, to war-stricken Bosnia, from child marriages in India to prostitution and drug trafficking in Colombia, these stories traverse a microcosm of reality. Be it the manifestation of Bacha Baazi in Afghanistan, or the fight for paradise on Earth, Kashmir, the repertoire of stories lend a soul to what otherwise remain a muddle of news reports and statistics. Through these stories, Kirthi embroiders a tapestry of the unvanquished human spirit in varied shades, and shakes you up to the reality that surrounds you.
