Ten Incarnations of Rebellion by Vaishnavi Patel
This is an alternate history novel based on the idea that the British did not give up control of India. Told in ten chapters showing important moments in Kalki's life, it shows her fight to help liberate India. This novel was very political and I'll be honest, that this really wasn't the novel for me. I did find it difficult to read at times. There was an interesting twist at the end which did redeem it a little for me. I also thought the message was good but I did struggle a little to push through and read this. I thought the author did a great job and probably very realistic of what life would have been like in more modern times under British control. It also delved into the caste system and that impact on India. Although this was not my cup of tea, I think those that enjoy books about India and alternate histories would find this an interesting read.
