A bit about The Age of Shiva

DateThursday, June 13, 2013 at 03:13PM

Suri, M. (2007) The Age of Shiva. NY:  W.W. Norton & Company.

As a novel to assign in the classroom, the topical links to make with this book deal with family studies and women’s studies and the intersection of both. The reader follows the life of Meera, from her teenage years to motherhood and widowhood. Meera has origins in a modern Indian family, but has to live her adult life within a family quite different from her own.  The author takes pages to delve into emotional dramas of the main character and the challenges of family dynamics.
