Book Review - Nine On Nine by Nandita C Puri

Image
  Nine Stories...Nine Women ... that is  Nine On Nine for you. Written by Nandita C Puri, this book is a collection of women centric stories with some deep emotions etched in them. I have always been a Short Story person and that's why I picked up this book. Simple reads and considerably fine stories with decent plot. However, I did feel some gloom and dullness while I read few stories. But on the whole, definitely readable.

Whenever, we admonished her, she would go towards the staircase which led to our terrace and sit on the stairs, her back facing us, refusing to look at our faces. We had to then pacify her. My dad would call her nakhrewali . Kandu had a strange relationship with our newspaper boy.
