Love and Life Behind the Purdah - (Mint Editions (Voices from Api)) by Cornelia Sorabji (Paperback)

Love and Life Behind the Purdah is a collection of short stories by Indian writer, lawyer, and social reformer Cornelia Sorabji that captures the experiences of Hindu purdahnashin women cut off from the outside world, Zoroastrian priestesses, and orphaned children in India during the late nineteenth century.

Through her vibrant prose portraits of these marginalized individuals, Sorabji weaves powerful political commentary that highlights the necessity of perseverance in the face of famine, disease, silence, and death.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Love and Life Behind the Purdah is a classic work of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.
