Atlanta Escorts: Three Books In Unflinching, Unforgettable Voices
Posted on November 11th, 2010 in Atlanta escorts
The child. Lakshmi is a Nepalese girl in a deplorably realistic story. Believing she is going to work as a maid to support her family, Lakshmi arrives at the grotesquely named “Happiness House,” a brothel in India. The matron who buys her ensures that the girl is beaten and drugged into submission. Lakshmi’s horrifying story is told in stark, first person verse, leaving room for the reader’s emotion to fill in the blanks. She resolves to survive her hell so she can buy back her freedom. When she realizes that will never happen, only the kindness of a young street vendor, and her desperate, tentative belief in one man’s promise, can save her. While it’s fiction, the author interviewed women forced into prostitution in India and Nepal, which is likely what makes this gut-wrenching story so vivid and believable.
