Book Review: The Diary of a Reluctant Feminist
We didn't bother to fight with each other nor did we bother to fight for our relationship.'The problem in my struggle for a divorce was in the small-print - as with everything in my life it read subject to my mother's permission. And since my mother was never going to allow me to divorce, I was relegated to being an armchair divorcee...So I decided, after two years of being separated, to stop waiting for my parent's elusive permission, and to take the initial steps in the painful journey myself. In this process, I was also branded as a feminist, which in their view was marginally worse than being a terrorist.
The Diary of a Reluctant Feminist is a profoundly funny chronicle of a young woman's attempt to get divorced as - opposed more by her own parents than her in-laws and her ex-she struggles to explain the flimsy grounds of incompatibility to her disapproving, old-fashioned, middle-class Punjabi family. Beneath the layers of this satirical account, lies an uncomfortable account of a failed marriage. Written in an easy and quick-to-read narrative style, the book is essentially a criticism against a particular style of parenting and spells against the established notion about marriage and divorce. As the blurb summarizes, this is a book for all those who have ever dreaded telling their parents an uncomfortable truth about themselves.
