I picked up this book as a way to allay my guilty feeling for not reading enough Indian authors. Shashi Deshpande ranks high in the list of top Indian authors, so it was natural to pick up one of her books . that long silence is the story of jaya, a housewife and mother to two teenaged children and is a writer in her free time . Jaya's life resembles any typical indian housewife, compromising for family needs . same boring story . I am disappointed . I don't want to be deterred by this .
