About this listen

The redemptive journey of a young woman unsure of her engagement, who revisits in memory the events of one scorching childhood summer, when her beautiful yet troubled mother spirits her away from her home to an Indian village untouched by time. There, she discovers in the jungle behind her ancestral house a spellbinding garden that harbors a terrifying secret.

Good read

It was a good description of the south indian way of living. The story depicted painful emotions of a child who's parents are going through separation. On the downside, I felt it dragged a bit in the middle and then rushed by the end. It almost felt the writer is trying to wrap up and finish the story asap. I think writer could have expanded more on how the emotions of a young child transformed when Rocky turned into a an adult and then reflect back on how she felt about them when she was a child.
