  1. Akhil Srivastava

    A challenging but rewarding read. De Beauvoir doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, and her characters are deeply flawed and human.

  2. Aniket Singh

    Interesting exploration of female experiences, but I found the writing style a bit dense at times. Still, worth reading for the insights.

  3. Shravani Priya

    A powerful and moving collection that will stay with you long after you finish reading. De Beauvoir’s insights into the female experience are unparalleled.

  4. Mohammed Fayiz Rahman M P

    A bit heavy and depressing, but ultimately a worthwhile read. De Beauvoir’s writing is sharp and insightful, even if the subject matter is difficult.

  5. Gautamdev Chakravarty

    Found it a bit slow-paced and depressing. The writing is good, but the stories didn’t really grab me. It was okay but forgettable.

  6. Yash Sharma

    This collection is a masterpiece! De Beauvoir’s writing is so sharp and insightful. It is heartbreaking and incredibly important.

  7. Debojyoti Sarkar

    De Beauvoir’s brilliance shines through in these stories. The themes of aging, loss, and identity are explored with such depth and nuance.

  8. Shubhender Shrivastav

    Found it a bit depressing, to be honest. The stories are well-written, but the themes of aging and loss were a bit too heavy for me.

  9. Gitansh Bhola

    Absolutely stunning! De Beauvoir’s prose is lyrical, and her insights are profound. This collection will stay with me for a long time.

  10. Kumavat Sagar Nana

    De Beauvoir at her finest! These stories are heartbreaking and beautiful, offering a glimpse into the complexities of womanhood. A must-read for feminists.

  11. Mona

    I was expecting more, to be honest. The stories were okay, but I didn’t find them as impactful as some of her other works.

  12. Monika Vemala

    An interesting read, but I felt detached from the characters. The writing is good, but the emotional connection was lacking. Okay read.

  13. Aarshi Singla

    De Beauvoir’s writing is sharp as always. Some stories resonated more than others, but overall, a thought-provoking read about women’s struggles.

  14. Abhay Tiwari

    De Beauvoir’s unflinching portrayal of women facing crises is both heartbreaking and empowering. A must-read for anyone interested in feminist literature.

  15. Modit Johar

    A mixed bag for me. Some stories were brilliant, while others felt a bit dated. Still, worth reading for the overall exploration of womanhood.

  16. Priyamvada

    A thought-provoking read, but I struggled with the negativity. The characters’ experiences were difficult to connect with at times.

  17. Anish Aiyappa N V

    A powerful collection that hit me hard. The characters are so real, and their pain is palpable. ‘The Monologue’ was particularly intense. Highly recommend!

  18. Akshat Ruhela

    Not my favorite de Beauvoir. Found the stories somewhat bleak and the characters unlikeable. Still, her writing is undeniable.

  19. Shikhar Singh

    Powerful and unsettling. De Beauvoir’s exploration of women’s inner lives is both insightful and disturbing. Be prepared for a raw and honest read.
