An Unrestored Woman: And Other Stories by Shobha Rao

I barely finished this one. And, if it weren’t for the prize-winning story being the second to last in the collection, I don’t know that I would have. “Kavitha and Mustafa” and the “The Curfew” was the only story set I really enjoyed. The rest of the collection didn’t appeal to me. The sexual references often came out of no where, felt out of place in the stories, and were gratuitous in telling the narrative.
