Taboo

Loved it totally!!
Though I'm not fond of reading but I was glued to it till end, and that's the beauty of author and story.
It's quite daring enough to talk about such a bitter reality of our society. Good work, well done!!

An excellent way of writing. Reading this made me feel like i was there and was able to feel the pain of the poor soul. Also it was very brave of the author to pick such an unusual topic and describe it so vividly pointing out the faults in our society. This should be acknowledged on a larger scale and precautions should be taken about such action. All in all this was a great book.

This is not a story made up of words, sentences, and paragraphs. This is a diagnostic report of a sick society where women are treated as lesser beings, where children are abused on a daily basis and where talking about such evils is also a crime. The author depicted this with emotions, feelings, and sentiments. If you'd read it with an open heart you'll feel like you are living every scene of this story. Perfectly written by a brave person.

Conservatives, bigots and orthodoxies exists in every country and society to play only one role and that is to keep the people silent and with one hidden agenda to keep the women oppressed, may it be by giving them the fear of God, Family, Culture or norms.

What matters is that every culture and different part of country hold its own secrets of which; some of the secrets emerge from the ashes and leave a impact for the coming generations that if they are trapped in the same kind of situation, they must raise their voice rather than being abused by the same people who are meant to be their protectors and who are meant to be family.

In Pakistan every household carries some secrets may it be house abuse, inter family child marriages, inter family and marriage rapes, the question of equal rights, the deep embedded taboo which every women or may it be a child faces in his learning stages which leaves a deep psychological affect on the particular person for the entire life.

In this novel Mehak Nadeem uncovers a bitter hidden truth and a step forward to curtail this problem by telling the truth in the serene phraseology for the existing and coming generations so that if they are trapped in the same kind of abuse they must raise their voice and slap canonical traditions. So, That children, women and humanity should not be manipulated and used in the favor and interest of some people.

A well written and epic piece of colloquial writing in combination with the story, well done and thumbs up to you!

A harrowing tale - told in a simple n very clear-cut style. You feel as if you're actually there, which makes you extremely uncomfortable - but that is the power of effective storytelling.

it just makes one wonder, that if reading about it is so disturbing, what must it be like to actually go through it. devastating, life-altering. the writer captures that very well.

the saddest part of this (and any) society is that such a large number of readers would actually be able to relate to the events in this story. we can only hope for a day when such themes will remain only in fiction, and not in reality.

The words broke me into tears, taking such a bold topic and talking about it in such detail is very daring and i appreciate the writer for it.

A well-written piece about a topic that no one in our society speaks up about. Thought-provoking and a step in the right direction towards fighting a great taboo.

A very eye opening story. Cruel reality of this society. More people need to read this and make their children aware of the mindset of most people. Beautifully written and well portrayed

Bitter reality of our society. Writing on this topic is brave enough. well done.

the things we need to talk about the most.
How to not rob a child of their innocence.
great Job.
