8 reviews for Plastic Emotions

  1. Adithya T R –

    I enjoyed learning about de Silva’s architectural contributions, but the affair with Le Corbusier felt a bit overemphasized.

  2. Arnav Sharma –

    Minnette de Silva’s life is fascinating! Pinto brings her alive, though the narrative jumps around a lot, which can be confusing.

  3. Nishant Kumar –

    A bit slow-paced for my taste, but the exploration of colonialism and modernism was thought-provoking.

  4. Tirupati V Sai Akash –

    Pinto’s prose is gorgeous, and the historical details are rich. A compelling portrait of a feminist pioneer.

  5. Shreyashi Sarkar –

    This book opened my eyes to a whole new world of architecture and female empowerment. A must-read for anyone interested in history or design.

  6. Aniket Narendra Rodge –

    While the subject matter is interesting, I struggled to connect with the characters. The writing felt a bit distant.

  7. Sakshi Trivedi –

    Interesting story about a largely unknown architect. The writing style was a bit dense at times, but overall a worthwhile read.

  8. Prity Rani –

    A beautifully written novel about a truly inspiring woman. I learned so much about architecture and Sri Lankan history. Highly recommend!
