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.” \u003cb\u003eStarred Review, \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"...more exquisite and born out of a more moving personal story than just about any book I’ve come across.\" \u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003eBrainpickings.org\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Perfect for anyone interested in printmaking, and would make an extra-special gift for the budding feminist in your family.\" \u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003eNashville Scene\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA large-format, silk-screened, hand-printed masterpiece.
