Voices from Around the World

As a final class project for Historical Female Voices, a course which focuses on female protagonists in primarily Young Adult novels, I decided to create a blog which will include books and even a few movies with female voices from all over the world.

India...





Koyal Dark, Mango Sweet
Kashmira Sheth

Jeeta lives in Mumbai, the third sister in a very traditional family. As Jeeta's older sisters accept the arranged marriages set up by their parents, Jeeta becomes anxious about her own future. Jeeta wants more than an arranged marriage. Becoming best friends with Sarina, whose family values education, Jeeta's desire is to become a lawyer. This wonderfully told story, set in exotic Mumbai, is a universal coming of age story.
