Playing with Fire is written in the collective voice of women employed by a large NGO as activists in their communities and is based on diaries, interviews, and conversations among them. Together their personal stories reveal larger themes and questions of sexism, casteism, and communalism, and a startling picture emerges of how NGOs both nourish and stifle local struggles for solidarity." "The Hindi edition of the book, Sangtin Yatra, published in 2004, created controversy that resulted in backlash against the authors by their employer. The publication also drew support for the women and instigated a public conversation about the issues exposed in the book. Here, Richa Nagar addresses the dispute in the context of the politics of NGOs and feminist theory, articulating how development ideology employed by aid organizations serves to reinforce the domination of those it claims to help."--BOOK JACKET.… (mehr) |

She was silent, as always, when this matter arose, not quite knowing how to convey the fact that Freddie's death was the last link in the chain that had once bound her to her own life, that she had in more ways than one outlived him, even before he died, and that she now functioned in ghostly form as if all the living substances had been withdrawn, and only her strong and obvious heart, beating away imperviously, held her on this earth. | |

about the author: 1928-2016. English author and art historian who published a novel a year from 1981 to 2003. She was born in Herne Hill, outside London, and was Jewish and of Polish descent.
The first time I've read a novel by Brookner. This novel was so clean and polished and easy and perfect.
Quietly obedient Harriet Lytton has an imperfect, or worse, marriage to an older man, and pins her hopes a daughter she raises to be independent, and who naturally grows up to be independent of her mom. This novel does some really meaningful stuff, looking at loneliness, desire, and disappointment, the costs of time and aging, and how difficult all these things are to talk about. So much unspoken, undone. It all feels relatable and real.
