Review: Life on Mars by Namita Gokhale

Pahari painting of Gandhari with maid-servants, by Purkhu, c. 1820 CE. “The pleasure of reading Life on Mars is that the stories aren’t driven by moral arcs, as much as I ached to pass a judgement. They are driven by discomfort. Qandhari blindfolded herself and became a queen, a mother of a hundred sons. She is a woman raging at the absurdity of her fate”. (Wikimedia Commons)
