Shobhaa De in 'Spouse' : The writer i
know

I love Shobhaa De. I do not have any
hesitation in admitting that. From my childhood i fancied reading
Shobhaa De. I felt she is a lioness, unafraid of male chauvnists,
ready to flag humans to the zenith of independence and free will.
What i liked the most was her shyless bold attitude.

I loved her for the attraction in her
personality as perceived by me. Today, I got an
oppurtunity to read 25 pages of her novel 'Spouse'. Woman discuss
sex, she says woman fake orgasm. I see the will of humanity in this
seemingly obscene sentence. I see the power to express clearly, the
will to speak truth, the will to propagate truth and the desire to
remain sane.

For my extremists
pretences, she turned out to be very moderate and yet she did not
disappoint in her sane words. 'Do not talk about your old love to
your new spouse.' Pompous are those, blind in words, lacking in
emphathy to discuss old affiliations. A person who can write
suggestively for 250 pages about marriage in realistic manner is
truly meritorious. Having a succesful second marriage her advices on
ex are very practical.

The book talks about Sex,
Divorce and what not, every perceivable topic is covered. It is like
reading a subject on marriage. Few stories here and there would have
made the book more intresting. Having a tough marriage i read with
religious zeal. She very well advises the consequences of infidelity.
My God how many advices to read. My sbconscious is not ready to
accept too much advices. The book misses spark , maybe her life too.
What a dull looking photo in the front cover, though she looks very
sexy in the back cover.

This is my second review of this book, after reading most of it.
Points, Points and Points of advice at the end of every chapter.
Expanded points as contents of these chapters.

I will not say it is very dull, but it could be lovelier.
For a feminist author, the book is very realistic.

Still, How much to remember when reading as a Novel?
Shobha will make a very good relationship teacher.

Amazing, How much she knows about the nuptial agreement.

She ends the novel with "Who needs the marriage? I do."

This could be a very good text book for marriage counsellees, a book to prevent divorces.
A must read for any married/ to be married adult.
