I saw a movie called the Shape of Water (a friend of my parents made it). I wonder if it's the same movie? I follows various women in different parts of the world. If not, I'll add Water to my netflix<br /><br />Susan-Climbing the Stairs is also on my list. I love WWII stuff so I'm sure I will enjoy it.

I'm going to have to add Keeping Corner to my TBR list.<br /><br />There is a movie you might be interested in called Water that chronicles the lives of widows including a child widow in a village in India. There was controversy surrounding the making of the film and I heard that they had to move filming to Sri Lanka after receiving threats.<br /><br />Great review!Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268744587166874784.post-82068188960947704622010-03-21T12:10:33.719-07:002010-03-21T12:10:33.719-07:00Miss Attitude: she only got to wear a brown sari (...Miss Attitude: she only got to wear a brown sari (somehow worse than white).<br /><br />Aths, this book takes place during WWI so I am hoping that this practice has changed in most placesHelen's Book Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404788769349792460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268744587166874784.post-48043868185637070712010-03-21T08:33:51.539-07:002010-03-21T08:33:51.539-07:00I didn't know this term called 'Keep corne...I didn't know this term called 'Keep corner' either, and that's in spite of coming from India. But there do exist some unpleasant practices against widows in some communities, which is pretty backward. Most of the communities have snapped out of it but there are still places that dwell in it.<br /><br />This book sounds good, nice review too!!

I can't imagine being forced, (at the age of 12!) to only wear a white sari and to have to give up all my hopes and dreams (although it says like the mc has mainaged to squash them).<br /><br />I love reading about India. It has such a fascinating history! This book is on my Historical Fiction challenge list and I'm eager to read it.<br /><br />Love the new blog layout!MissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.com
