INDOMITABLE SUSAN WITH HIV

The author unwraps a silent but challenging journey of a woman through different phases of her life as a daughter, a wife, a daughter-in-law, a sister-in-law, a mother and a widow. Susan, the central character in the story, goes through these phases and faces every challenge that comes her way. She, however, deals with all problems including her husband’s mental health, family issues, financial difficulties, job problems, compromising dreams, her husband’s life-threatening ailment like infection with HIV and the list goes on. She, through her insightful outlook and typical nature like an Indian homemaker, sets an example of women empowerment and liberty. Reading this book is getting to understand the hidden and silent revolution that takes place in a common woman’s heart with personal sacrifice, compromises and tolerance. The book, however, does not stick to the dark side of life but in the end shows a brighter side of life too.
