Hariny Ahana: The Dictionary of Flowers, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A beautifully illustrated prose poetry collection exploring womanhood, healing, and the delicate tensions of identity in contemporary India.

Stepping into a breezy and colourful piece, reading this book is more like getting to know a person.

The exchange of pleasantries at the start with dainty conversations that refrain from straying too far. Building a careful foliage of words that soften into laughter and a crisscross of comfortable questions.

The rough puzzle pieces slowly fit together as you stumble across parts they keep hidden from the daylight. Cracks in their initial flawlessness that never fail to surprise you.

And after you get to know them with their joys, regrets and stubborn quirks, and wonder how it aligns with your own, they stay by your side.

Hopeful. Vulnerable. With every guard down. Waiting to see if you would accept them as a whole.

And that is what the dictionary of flowers will do to you. Stay with you while you get to know the entire picture. And wait. And wait for you to make your final choice.
