Sonali V's Reviews > The Performance

I loved everything about this book. The structure, the plot, the characters, the story, the language. Most of all the allusions, references, critique to the performance of Beckett's Happy Days. With a light touch the writer touches upon so much that is part of modern urban society - women and the choices they can or cannot make and the fallout, the trauma they have to undergo as mothers and daughters, how climate change is affecting people in the real world making some panic about it and some who ignore it or, the different kinds of violence women face and hide from others. All the while, like a bass note , Beckett 's play continues, illuminating the human condition.
