Book Review

Sands of Time is a collection of 12 stories that has a central character revolving around the lives of women in different situations and circumstances. The integral part of the collection is that, it shows women as a strong character in most of the stories and urges the readers especially women to not be afraid to voice their feelings and opinions. 

Moreover, in all the stories, the authoress has highlighted the social stigma that still persists in most of the households and how women silently practice them. From these stories, the authoress urges to break free from all those things that does not let you to move forward in life. 

The protagonists in each of these stories is unique but will still give you a feeling that you have heard about it or probably even seen a woman going through such a struggle in life. 

The language is simple and is easy to read. The stories in the book are small in length but large with the impact that it has on the minds of the readers. So a round of applause for the authoress who has tried to bring the core issues revolving around women in front. 

Sands of Time is probably a collection of 12 lessons learnt and to be practiced equally by people from all walks of life.
