That Indian Girl in Sweden Charu Sharma

Inspired by the beauty of Stockholm and the mundaneness of life, That Indian Girl in Sweden beautifully captures the different emotions of an Indian expat living in a different country. We believe our lives to be so different but the different emotions and phases we go through are mostly the same. This book carries glimpses of a life lived over a period of four years be it the first snowfall, the first time at the beach, the many fights of a woman in patriarchy, or the longing to go back to our own land or people. This book is a cocktail of different emotions, which gives a high to even non-alcoholic readers. This collection of short poems with Stockholm and married life as my muse is refreshing and an easy read.
