I love the book already. There are so many injustices that go unexposed for long.

The story is very well written and it is very close to the reality because I am from the same area and I witnessed all such happenings their. The life of poor especially women is very miserable. Thanks for your review nice job.

I love how this book was written, complete with some sensitive subjects that are heavy in the heart. But all in all touching. Thumbs up!

This shows the lengths desperate families go through in attempts to have a descent life. It is a book I will look forward to read if I get a chance to do so.
Life in this world at most times is unfair to the poor. As depicted by the Elastic Girl by Olivia Rana, children of the poor are vulnerable to exploitation and dehumanization to say the least. Those organizations working to set the helpless children free from modern day slavery are doing a great job.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

I really like how you draw in your reader’s attention by describing an event and asking a question before you delve into the review. I think this is a great writing strategy to emulate

I want to share the following note from the author, who really appreciates the review and all the comments and feedback.

[Note from Author: One comment that came up quite a lot is that people were concerned about the graphic scenes of abuse, since it is mentioned in the review. Readers may think there is a lot of this content in the book, but it's actually very minimal. It is limited to two short scenes which can easily be skipped over.]

This book is about how women faces poverty in India and work in circus there was also Hindi language uses which can be suitable for those who understand Hindi.

This book seem to contain references about the life of a child who was forced by her parents into the realm of a circus life. She undoubtedly did not understand at first her role in the circus realm but quickly learned after making some mistakes.

While the book itself doesn't sound like a good fit for me due to the subject, I just wanted to say that I adore your writing style. It makes the review stand out and the contrast of the negative aspects rounds it out. :)

Great! It is a fabulous book. There is a link to Amazon in the bottom left-hand corner of the review, as well as one to Bookshelves which may include other purchasing options. The book is free with KindleUnlimited I believe. ETA: Welcome to the site!

Circuses here in the Philippines are almost no longer existing, it is like an endangered species that are almost extinct. But I am aware of what joy a circus can bring to a child's memories. Since I to enjoyed going to them when I was a child. I add this book in my going to read shelves and let's see how will it make me relieve those times I have with the circuses.
