Ganga: The Constant Goddess by Anuja Chandramouli

3.0

I read 91% of the book before the device crashed and am considering the book complete anyway. Ganga has always been of great importance in Hinduism and the Vedic Religion. It is of course interesting to see the narration of familiar stories from her perspective. Although I believe the book need not have been too in the face about its feministic stance - which by the way is heavily appreciated. Ganga's nature reflects that of the river itself, so I think the characteristics are quite fair. The book consistently lost my attention in its descriptions of nature and such, which I again understand is important since it is being told from the perspective of a river. Quite liked the book but I have some questions about why certain things happened the way they did.
