#BookReview: The Parcel by Anosh Irani
The Parcel is the fourth novel by author Anosh Irani . It was published on October 2016 by Harper Collins Publishers and is widely available at the bookstores. The cover page of the book is blue in colour, having a cage like looking wall, designed by Bhavi Mehta which is very attractive and catchy to the eyes. The Parcel is a story of a 40 year old Madhu , belonging to the transgender community or the Hijra community, a community of third sex- neither male nor female. Born as a boy, she was a shame for the family. She works in Kamathipura, a red light district of Bombay. She has moved away from the prostitution work and is forced to beg on streets. A lot about of her past is revealed through flashbacks and is asked by Padma, the most feared brothel owner to prepare a parcel. The whole story is the narration of Madhu who is representing the Hijra community. The prologue is amazing highlighting about the Hijras. The book is very beautifully written and Anosh Irani'
