Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() Like some other reviewers I found the narration style, slipping as it frequently does into the author's own experiences, somewhat disjointed. This got in the way of the main story, I felt, rather than enhancing it. None-the-less the book covers a subject matter of great importance and is certainly worth reading. ![]() The second part of the book deals with the longest legal battle (19 years) which Saumen had initiated to seek justice for her sister Archana. Archana gets help from Danish doctors and learn to walk again. Per Jensen, a Danish, falls in love with her, and marries Archana. Both processes are painful and cost lots of energy. Victim becomes torturer, and vice versa. The hell is the other. A human drama involving torture as a human invention to combat terrorism, terrorizing victims alike. Set against the background of the developing countries of India, Japan, Yafasova steps into the storyline every now and then, changes the protagonist, but is also heavily involved in unmasking this human flaws and struggle to survive when humanity seems stripped away. ![]() ![]() The book tells the story about the longest trial ever held in the Indian courts. It is the story about Archana Guha, who was prisoned in Calcutta suspecting that she would know the location of her insurgent Naxalite brother. The pains she has to endure there are leeding even to paralysis of her legs. Whatever, she found help and the power to fight back, learned to walk again and got her victory in the courtroom at last - after 19 years of victimization. It's a book that gives hope. And a meaning to all the battles against tyranny, against unjust laws, against any 'establishment' that is only based on brute force. It's a book about a content more relevant than ever. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

When Archana's brother is caught, the three women are sent to prison indefinitely, along with him, on trumped-up charges. Her ordeal in the torture chamber of the Kolkota police leaves Archana paralysed in both legs. Lying helplessly on her mattress, she loses hope of ever returning No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The writing style is beatifilly fluid when telling the story, but i found it a little disjointed in places as the author changd viewpoint to add in her personal experiences.
It is definitely a story that needs to be told and needs to be heard, and will stay with me for a whle. (
