Girls Who Said Nothing and Everything

Product Description

An evocative collection of eleven autobiographical essays, Girls Who Said Nothing & Everything navigates the tumultuous journey of self-discovery, shame and love within a dysfunctional family in 1990s India.

Through candid insights and humour, Meera Vijayann reflects on the deep-seated generational trauma that shapes the lives of Indian women. From public humiliation after a horrific accident in third grade to the confusion and anxiety caused by parental discord, money and young love, each essay delicately unravels the multifaceted experiences of Indian girlhood.

This debut essay collection stands as a powerful testament to resilience, offering young Indian women a voice to express their deepest emotions. Ultimately, it encourages them to see their grief, joy, shame, love, sexuality and rage as human.
