Burnt Sugar

 by Avni Doshi

The story is a mother and daughter story set in urban india. The mother is starting to suffer from dementia and everyone around is supportive and sympathetic. For the main protagonist this is not so simple. Every incident in the present takes her and us back to an episode in the past and a childhood / growing up that was not always good and times very  painful. The structure I liked but I never settled into the story and found the characters difficult to engage with. A great idea that did not work for me 5/10
