The Echo from Heroine

Do you think girls and boys in India have the same quality of life? Let’s learn about the India’s History through the book Homeless Bird which was written by Gloria Whelan. This book is about a young girl named Koly who her own parents forced her to leave the family at thirteen and marry someone at young age like many girls in India, she will leave home forever unlike her brothers who don’t have to struggle to this kind of situation and get to have an education. There are many complexity in the story which something seem like a real story that happen all the time in human’s life, but what will Koly’s life be after her marriage. Do you have any ideas about Koly’s new family members? I really liked this story.

Koly wants to learn how to read and write but her parents not allowed her to have an education and every woman in Koly’s family embroidered.

On her wedding day, Koly was shocked about her marriage and her new life but it’s too late for her to turn back. Koly finds herself lost in the strange and dark world where she can’t find her way out. What will happen next if Koly finds her out of the strange and darkness world? Well, I recommend you to read this book and you will find out very soon!
