This stunning autobiographical art book recounts self-taught artist Tejubehan's journey from an impoverished childhood in rural India, through her family's efforts to improve their lot in a tent city in Mumbai, and into her adulthood, when she lived as a singer and artist with her husband. The direct, unadorned text has an immediacy that reveals its roots as an orally narrated life story... As a physical artifact, it draws attention to its creation with stiff pages and fragrant, tactile inks... A unique offering that presents readers with arresting artwork and a compelling life story." Starred Review, "Kirkus Reviews" "Self-taught artist Tejubehan weaves a partly autobiographical, partly escapist, whimsically illustrated tale of a woman trapped between unimaginable poverty and a wildly imaginative inner world in a patriarchal society." - Maria Popova for the New York Public Library bookstore ..".more exquisite and born out of a more moving personal story than just about any book I've come across." "Brainpickings.org" "Perfect for anyone interested in printmaking, and would make an extra-special gift for the budding feminist in your family." "Nashville Scene" A large-format, silk-screened, hand-printed masterpiece. A "Los Angeles Times" Holiday Gift Pick. (Book Summary from Amazon)
