Résumé
A newly married woman burns to death. A mother is forced to kill her infant daughter. A young woman with a promising future becomes a slave to a holy man. A recently widowed woman is left on the bank of the river to die. I Exist. Therefore I Am takes you on a journey into the world of women and the trauma they face for simply being women. Moving and inspiring yet also disturbing, these nine stories set in India are about internal struggles, desperation, darkness, helplessness as well as hope and yearning for something better.
It is about secrets, words that cannot be spoken, social restrictions and smiles that don't quite reach the eyes. In story after story, Rajapakse portrays the terrible treatment towards women as a result of religious, cultural and tribal taboos placed on them, and the suffering at the hands not just of society but of their own kind. This is fiction that is created for readers that aren't afraid to question society and its beliefs and tear open the wounds to heal the soul.
They describe what it is to be a woman, the helplessness they are confronted with and the unending hope they have for a better future. Will these women's sacrifices make a difference or will they have been in vain?
