Description
Cracks in the Wall reveals multi-faceted struggles—mental, societal, familial—individuals confront as they navigate fears, traumas and desires in the course of their lives and gives readers a window into the tumult that such a process entails, with useful but often difficult revelations. Be it a working woman in an abusive marriage who finally finds the courage to seek intervention, a mother who has to choose between the government and rebels to keep her child safe, while another comes to terms with lost motherhood, or a love stifled under the weight of ambition, these stories mirror deep-rooted fractures, both at a personal and social level, owing to gender inequality, taboo around addiction, mental abuse, conflicts between classes as well as between the urban and rural. Faith plays a role both incrementally and startlingly—the spiritual quest seeded randomly or through a slow process of transformation—as do dreams, to deepen understanding of the human psyche. Each story peels what may seem apparent, letting us in on a world within the world, and invites us to take a closer look.
