The Descent of the Drowned by Ana Lal Din
4.0
Ana Lal Din writes about a culture that has it's people labeled by caste. They are poor, struggling to survive and face at a young age to serve those that are higher than them and to be auctioned off to a man. They believe in a goddess that leads them to their purpose in life to live the kind of existence they are born into. The main character Roma strives to escape out of that state of being and many wish they can but know they cannot.
Within this storyline Ana Lal Din portrays the real life awful occurrences and atrocities that takes place around the world from the past to the present, e.g. sex trafficking, prostitution, violence, not accepting people that are different, drugs.
This book is well written and has good world building. It is a slow start but is intriguing nonetheless as the story evolves and progresses.
