REVIEW
How apt is it that I read this book right before I embarked on my fourth A to Z challenge season, 2019!
We Women Wonder: 26 Essays, one for each letter of the alphabet, and all of them dealing with the various issues women face, and sometimes push under the carpet of the perfect family.
I loved a lot of things about the book, starting from the alliteration in the title. As women, we are doomed in this society to keep wondering a lot, sometimes about who we are and what we do, and making sure that we find the perfect balance between what is expected of us and what we want to do for ourselves. So the title immediately made me grin in understanding and acceptance.
Coming to the book, the essays are all about common topics that do not sound preachy or tiring to read. They are short, to the point, and keep stuff simple. If wondering is what we do, Ms. Uppal debunks that in style. She approaches the sensitive topics with practiced ease and her tone is gently persuasive.
The book’s simple approach is a huge plus, and it does resort to allusions and comparisons or jargon. The topics are relatable (and spa ecial mention for how the author found the perfect one for the letter X. As a fellow A to Z blogger I know the challenge that presents). My only complaints are the sparse typos and phrasing errors.
The pluses are the wonderful quotes in each chapter and the beginning itself. The book is also a light read that does not take a lot of time but leaves a strong impact. The language could have been better, though, so the essays do not seem like converted blog posts. The writing could have been honed.
The cover and blurb are excellent, making the reader sit up and take notice. The colour coordination seems deliberately placed and thoughtful. The typesetting could have been cleaner but is still easy to read on the eyes.
Overall, the book is a wonderful inspirational read, quick and thought provoking in the way it is written and presented. We Women Wonder, and this has some answers that unapologetically asks women to learn to choose themselves and their wishes when the situation demands it. No matter what else changes, women do keep wondering and sometimes it is books like these that change the perspective totally. Worth a read!
