Listen Girl!

Back of the Book

Ai Ladki, the classic. A sentence in every word, a world in every silence. The ladki - girl, daughter, child, all rolled into one - spins an absorbing tale of love in the time of death, the distance between a daughter and her mother, the undescribable closeness. The essence of friendship in every mother daughter relationship that Krishna Sobti has magicked for us, is a must read for all daughters and mothers, and men who want to know them.

Ai Ladki, which created a storm when it was published in 1991, is brought to you in an exquisite translation by Shivanath that catches the deep story, the silences ... Katha proudly presents the first of the Krishna Sobti series.
