Quick comment on the description above: the description above sounds nothing like Sumitra's Story (to me), so if you're thinking of reading this book I recommend you check out various reviews just in case.

I remember reading this book over & over when I was a teenager. I don't really remember why I liked it so much.

Me gustó porque me transportó al Universo de la protagonista, sentía el peso de la costumbre sobre ella, la antítesis de crecer en un lugar con la tradición de su familia... Me gustó por ello. Pero hace tanto que lo leí que necesito otra lectura para contextualizarlo de forma certera.
