Sparsh Hardik 12 May 2023 10.0

This is one of those novels which were urging to be read for many years. The title “The Grass Is Singing” emotionally appealed to me a lot. I was picturing the wide field full of dry grass dancing in the evening and to this date, that image keeps me amused. The novel was entirely different than what I have imagined, yet the reason for its calling made sense when I found myself so much invested in the protagonist Mary Turner. It is a finely written, subtly woven murder mystery with a rich literary treatment.
