Reseña del libro "The First Flame (en Inglés)"

The Prequel to "The Last Suttee" by Madhu Bazaz Wangu...Nine-year-old Kumud Kuthiyala cannot hide her excitement on Diwali Eve, the festival of lights. But an aunt's visit invites an unexpected and painful understanding of marriage and related rituals. Will Aunt Sau embrace the horrible ritual of suttee and follow it to its "natural" end? Or can Kumud and her mother stop her before it's too late? This novella is the prequel to Wangu's stunning "The Last Suttee." Here's what the critics say: "A haunting, rich narrative on the struggle of faith, custom and social hierarchy in modern times . . . The gorgeous language brings alive the complex world through sounds, smells, colors and tastes." -Hilary Hauck"The Last Suttee is an engaging adventure story well told. It explores many of the cultural obstacles facing girls in India. Kumud, the heroine, shows how one person can be an agent of change." -Professor, Smith College"Madhu Bazaz Wangu's writing is full of rich descriptions that engage the senses and make you feel part of each setting." -Martha Swiss"What woman among us doesn't immediately resonate to varying degrees with the protagonist's remark that '... a woman faces elimination at every stage of her life'? Read this book to sharpen your awareness and to understand the tools for positive change." -Gale Oare"Threads of spirituality, and myth are skillfully woven throughout the tale and make 'The Last Suttee' a wonderful story and an authentic and unique work of art!" (Rosemary Hanrahan)
