LE FESTIVAL AUQUEL VOUS AVEZ [HÉLAS] ÉCHAPPÉ !

The novel of Anuradha Roy immerses you in the India of the mid of the previous century fighting for its independence and war-torn. Into this broad battle takes place the combat of a woman, Gayatri Rozario, which seems to be born too soon, dreaming about liberty and travels, painting every piece of life, talking to birds and plants. Getting stuck in her marriage and family, Gayatri – the sunbird – finds the bravery to reach her liberty and has to pay its prize.
The efforts of Gayatri's son to understand what happened in his mother's spirit to leave and never come back is a great introspection into the complexities of our feelings and often contradictory emotions.
By this token, All the Lives We Never Lived can be read as an ode to freedom

Life is full of regrets & thoughts going back & forth - mine are like ping-pong ball, off goes a thought & back it comes before I know it, exactly the same. I am in pain - terrible pain that hurts my body as well as soul - these sickening headaches & stomach aches that feel as if my gut has turned into a rope knotted up & can't be undone. I cannot keep down a morsel.
I should never have been married at all. I was never meant to be owned, I needed to be free, a vagabond or a gypsy. I'd have done less damage.
Is prosperity the only barrier against ugliness & squalor? The rich parts of our country are not beautiful as the most ordinary villages here.
