My Feudal Lord by Tehmina Durrani
4.0
A book, difficult to digest because it is autobiographical. The atrocities that happen on the protagonist are monstrous. The husband a still functioning politician in Pakistan. It makes me rethink about our politicians too. We never think good of them anyway but never expected them to be of quite this level either. The parents, the sisters are an awful mix of support and destruction. The protagonist at the end frees herself and tells her story.
There is a lot of Pakistani politics discussed, which while digresses from the main domestic violence story, is still very interesting. Indian leaders show up unexpectedly with unexpected roles to play. Kudos to the writer that she has not hidden her own warts. During political discussions, she did seem to show off as a nicer and idealistic person, which seems suspect to me. But outside of politics, her voice is strong and clear; the pain and the hopelessness come across very well.
Overall a good book. I do recommend you to pick up and read this one.
