“In this vibrant collection of short fiction, editors Meenakshi Bharat and Sharon Rundle bring together a diverse group of writers from the Indian subcontinent and Australia to explore the themes of tolerance and intolerance. Their stories are compelling, urgent and thought-provoking. They trace the lives of those affected by the metaphorical and literal walls erected by society to offer a glimpse of a divided world, but one that is by no means devoid of compassion.”<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI found them\u00a0a superb collection<\/strong>! Launched the very first volume when I was in Sydney, wrote the Foreword for one, and moderated a panel dicussion with the volume launched by the then Australian High Commissioner to India Harinder Sidhu. Efforts like these volumes bring people together. Hopefully, they can be part of the syllabus someday. I have great respect for the initiative.\u201d<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

<\/i><\/b>Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2019 Verified Purchase Five Stars
\u201cExcellent collection of short stories tackling immensely important and relevant topics! My favorites were closer by David malouf, the last game drive by Janhavi acharekar and the wedding gift by Meenakshi Bharat. A must be read collection for anyone interested in broadening they\u2019re minds and exploring different people and thoughts! Five stars\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

Punekar 5.0 out of 5 stars<\/strong>\u00a0The book makes you introspect
Reviewed in India on October 2, 2019. Verified Purchase
\u201cThis collection of stories tackles a wide variety of subjects and is categorised into Family, Race, Gender, Religion and so on and that is why I enjoyed the book. One could pick and choose a story to read depending on one\u2019s mood. I specifically liked the stories on Family and Gender. The stories on race brought out the dichotomy that exists in all of us, as mentioned in the introduction to the book. Right thinking people are determined not to be biased and want to do the right thing but the subconscious mind often has another agenda. The rational aspect of the personality loses out in certain circumstances. This is brought out in the stories on family too, particularly the story titled \u201cThe Wedding Gift\u201d. Another story I liked was the one titled \u201cHenry\u201d. We behave in the most irrational ways but we are not bad people, not really, just human. All the stories are not equally good, but all of them touch something inside your heart.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

CB 5.0 out of 5 stars<\/strong>\u00a0An interesting read for book clubs Reviewed in the United States on 16 August 2020 Verified Purchase \u201cThe Glass Walls by Meenakshi and Sharon is a different read covering intense topics wound into stories taken from our daily lives. Most of these stories start in a free flowing manner covering relatively simple and unassuming topics, but as with life, they take the reader through a series of emotions emanating from personal experiences and relationships as they go on to cover social issues around us. Throughout the book I felt I could relate to the stories, either personally or through the experience of those around me. Just as in real life, the twists and turns in some of the stories took me by surprise. Some stories handled social complexities and got me thinking hard about the issues that smolder just beneath the surface. In fact, one of the stories by Trilok Chand Ghai became a topic of interesting discussion among friends. The book is a collection of stories, well written, covering topics across continents. I would recommend Glass Walls as a must add to the list of book clubs looking for discussion on topics in our daily lives\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
