This sequel to Shabanu continues her story of sacrifice and imprisonment. ( ) This book picks up five or six years after Shabanu -- this review contains spoilers for that book. We see Shabanu now as the youngest wife of a wealthy older man, raising her young daughter Mumtaz. The first three wives look down on Shabanu, and she fears for her safety and that of Mumtaz. She would also like to see Mumtaz educated, so her future will be more secure. Shabanu's plan is to live at the haveli, her husband's city house, while the government is in session. She can find Mumtaz a tutor there, and they will be safe from the other wives, who prefer to live in a newer and more stylish part of town. But when one of Shabanu's only friends is forced into an arranged marriage even more distasteful than Shabanu's own, plans must need change once again... I found this a rather stressful read, as Shabanu's life is one of nearly constant anxiety and hidden danger. Of course, this also made for a quick and compelling read. I'm not entirely satisfied with the book's ending, but there is a third book, so I will probably read that one and see if it resolves some of the things I found problematic. The sequel to the Newberry award winning novel Shabanu, this book follows Shabanu in her marriage with her daughter Mumtaz. Haveli would be a good selection for students who had a strong reaction to the first novel, however it is important to remember that both works do have some violence and ideologically sensitive material. Once again this work would likely appeal more to girls than boys. Reading Level: 7.5 inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
