29 Aug / The Tiger Ladies: A Memoir of Kashmir by Sudha Koul [in AsianWeek]
Koul captures the lives of four generations of women in her native Kashmir, a tiny country caught between India and Pakistan since the Partition of 1947, the year of her birth. She weaves a magical childhood filled with mouth-watering scents, folk tales, and family celebrations together with the unresolved political and religious battles that threaten the very existence of a most fragile region.
