Yellow Chrysanthemum: Short Story Collection

Set in contemporary India, ＂Yellow Chrysanthemum＂ is a stirring collection celebrating the lives of Durga, Uma, Tihar, Somlata, Mridula, and fifteen other women from rural villages to bursting cities. These women are not passive victims but survivors and warriors who have the courage to challenge the status quo of society, which always seeks to silence their voices.

As the author, I wrote this book to pay my homage to the women who continue challenging society’s oppressive forces. If you are in search of a book that will both challenge and inspire you, ＂Yellow Chrysanthemum＂ is a top pick. Take part in the celebration of women’s voices, a call for justice, and a reminder of the incredible power that exists within us all to rise above, no matter the odds.
