  1. Aman Chouksey

    Stein’s portrayal of these women is raw and honest. Her writing is unconventional which makes it refreshing. It’s a unique and valuable contribution to literature.

  2. Sandat Sadanand Barve

    A bit slow-paced for my taste, but the characters were compelling. Stein’s style is definitely different, and ‘Three Lives’ offers a unique perspective on the past.

  3. Kishor Singh

    A thought-provoking exploration of womanhood and identity. Stein’s writing is unconventional, but ultimately powerful. Charters’ edition is excellent.

  4. Pooja Hazarika

    ‘Three Lives’ is a fascinating look at early th-century America. Stein’s style is challenging but rewarding. “Melanctha” was the standout story for me. Highly recommended.

  5. Tanishta Roy

    I appreciated the glimpse into the lives of these women, but Stein’s writing felt repetitive at times. Charters’ notes were helpful in understanding the context. An okay read.

  6. Saurabh Singh Rathour

    A masterpiece of modernist literature! ‘Three Lives’ is beautifully written and deeply moving. Stein’s unique voice shines through. The edition is great!

  7. Arjun Raj K T

    I found Stein’s writing style a bit difficult to connect with. While I admired the subject matter, I struggled to fully engage with the stories in ‘Three Lives’.

  8. Janvi Chauhan

    While I enjoyed the themes explored in ‘Three Lives,’ Stein’s writing felt a bit dense at times. Still, a worthwhile read for fans of modernist literature.

  9. Rugved Deepak Tidke

    This book was amazing! I enjoyed the unique writing style. It kept me interested, I wanted to know more about the lives. I could not put it down!

  10. Yash Raj Kesarwani

    Interesting historical context, but Stein’s experimental style wasn’t really for me. I found it a bit tedious to read, even though the subject matter was compelling.

  11. Mohd Faris Khan

    Stein’s experimental style is definitely unique in ‘Three Lives.’ The stories were interesting, but it took a while to get used to the prose. Overall, a worthwhile read for those interested in modernist lit.
