Abhishek Mishra –
Doniger’s writing is always engaging. The connections between sex and jewelry were thought-provoking, though some interpretations felt a bit of a stretch.
Lavish Ahuja –
I loved learning about the hidden meanings behind different pieces of jewelry. Doniger’s writing is captivating, and the research is impeccable.
Anushka Chaudhary –
Fascinating and well-researched! Doniger brings her expertise to a captivating topic. I couldn’t put it down. A little too academic at times, but still great.
Arghyadip Poddar –
Interesting premise, but I felt the book jumped around a bit too much. Some chapters were fascinating, others less so. Overall, a decent read.
Mansi Bharti –
I enjoyed the book, but it could have been better organized. The concepts were sometimes repetitive. Still, worth reading if you’re into mythology.
Adarsh Garg –
A unique perspective on mythology! I learned a lot about the symbolism of jewelry in different cultures. Highly recommend!
Avneesh Kaur –
The book has very niche topic. If you are interested in sex and jewelry, you may like it. Otherwise you may find it weird.
Shreya Sahu –
A real eye-opener! I never thought about jewelry in this way before. Some parts were dense, but overall, a very insightful read. The topic is well-written.
