Synopsis "One Foot Wrong (Marathi) (in Maratí)"
A BRILLIANT FIRST NOVEL OF PROFOUND DEPTH, STARTLING ORIGINALITY AND BREATHTAKING TALENT. A CHILD IS IMPRISONED IN A HOUSE BY HER RECLUSIVE RELIGIOUS PARENTS. HESTER HAS NEVER SEEN THE OUTSIDE WORLD; HER COMPANIONS ARE CAT, SPOON, DOOR, HANDLE, BROOM, AND THEY ALL SPEAK TO HER. HER IMAGINATION IS INFORMED BY ONE BOOK, AN ILLUSTRATED CHILD S BIBLE, AND ITS IMAGERY FORMS THE SOLE BASIS FOR HER CAPACITY TO MAKE POETIC CONNECTION. ONE DAY HESTER TAKES A BRAVE ALICE IN WONDERLAND TRIP INTO THE FORBIDDEN OUTSIDE (AT THE BEHEST OF HANDLE - TURN ME TURN ME ), AND THIS OVERWHELMING ENCOUNTER WITH LIGHT AND SKY AND SUNSHINE IS A MARVEL TO HER. FROM THIS MOMENT ON, HESTER LEARNS THE CONCEPT OF THE SECRET, AND NOT TELLING, AND THE WORLD BECOMES SOMETHING THAT FILLS HER WITH FEELING AS IF SHE IS A VESSEL, EMPTY AND BOTTOMLESS FOR NEED OF IT. सच्चा आवाज. बालपणाच्या धास्तीभरल्या आठवणी जाग्या करता करता उदात्ततेला आवाहन करणारा आणि वास्तवापुढे मान तुकवणाऱ्या निरागसतेची वेदना टिपणारा सच्चा आवाज! सोफी लगूनानं रेखाटलेलं जग, व्यक्तिरेखा आणि व्यक्तिरेखेला साजेशी भाषा, यात वाचक गुंगून जातो. हे सारं एका दारुण वास्तवाच्या कथानकाला हाताळताना, एवढ्या तीव्र आणि प्रभावशाली शैलीत ती करू शकली आहे, हीच तिच्या ठायीच्या चातुर्य, कलाकौशल्य आणि परिपक्वता या गुणांना मिळालेली पावती म्हटली पाहिजे. भडक पत्रकारितेच्या हे सर्वस्वी विरुद्ध आहे. हे माणुसकी, मनोविकार आणि सत्य यांनी ओतप्रोत भरलेलं आहे.
