The Tussle - Mohona Series Book 1, #1 - E-book - ePub

The Tussle is the story of an Indian girl with a potential for excellence and the ensuing social drama that ruin hopes in an attempt to promote welfare. The story pictures a darker undercurrent that still runs in the veins of the Indian society as opposed to the bright and glamorous picture that the more privileged among us are used to. Mohona wanted to get out of the vicious cycle of poverty and ignorance and achieve the educational and social standards that her parents cannot even dream of.
But then, her enemy is not only poverty but also the huge social misconceptions that continues to create insurmountable hindrances for many Indian village girls. The meeting with Aditya, the dreams and the reality and the competition with self-creates a perspective that leaves us thinking about what we really want and what we don't. The stark contrast among the status of women in India has been subtly portrayed in this first book of the Mohona series.
