Kamal Dhillon is an author, an inspirational speaker and a domestic violence counsellor. Her new book, Black & Blue Sari, is a harrowing autobiography of the abuse and torment that she suffered through by the hands of her husband after an arranged marriage. Her story and message is one that will affect you, disturb you, enrage you and will open your eyes to the reality and severity of domestic violence.
This is a local book available in British Columbia, and online. I am not sure if it has made its way to other parts of the world, but I sure if you search in on the internet it should not be a problem finding a copy. Black and Blue Sari
I read this book in one day. The story was very riveting. Hard to read all the horrific abuse she went through. I have a hard time understanding why women keep going back to the abuse. I know its the majority of women in situations like this that keep going back. So its all part of the craziness of this form of abuse. I believe as we continue to make aware that abuse is not OKAY more women will break that cycle right away.
Kudos to this woman for sharing her story.
As far as writing goes this is not the best written book. she doesn't really have a great writing style. I found a little of the book repititous. If it wasn't for the story not sure it would have held me to continue reading.
I would have liked to see more depth in the last few chapters. I found she just touched the spiritual aspect. I felt it was like she had a goal to write so many pages and the limit was up so she had to wrap it all up quickly.
I would recommend this book with a warning that the abuse is pretty horrific. True story This book was so hard to read, only for the fact that what kind of person treats there wife like an animal. Furthermore its heartbreaking that's how badly she is trapped. I enjoyed reading this book more so for the fact that it's based on a true story. True story Overcoming extreme abuse. Hard to read. Helps us to open our eyes. True story Black and Blue Sari is not a book that you read to feel good or to enjoy a literary experience. This is a true-life autobiography that is important, and a ministry that needs to be promoted. Kamal Dhillon is a Christian woman of Indian descent who lived through the most horrendous domestic violence I have ever heard of. God protected her life somehow, and now she has a ministry to the world. When Kamal Dhillon speaks, she brings the leaders of nations and political leaders to tears.
Please buy this book, and share it with friends, especially those who are suffering from domestic violence.
I cannot recommend this book high enough. I cannot stress how important it is. True story Black and Blue Sari is the type of book that stays with you for a while after you read it. The story line and the message that is shown is one that is empowering. To see a woman who has survived such an ordeal of domestic violence is uplifting. However, for me, the book was simply OK.
The storyline is what kept me going. Familiar with a little of Kamal Dhillon's story before I read the book, I wanted to read this novel to see the extent of the trauma she went through. Kudos to Kamal for choosing to share her story with the world and empower all other victims of abuse, not only women.
What made this novel OK was the writing. I understand that the author is not a professional writer. I also understand that there can be a bit of a language barrier after all these years. However, for me, it made it a bit hard to get through the book as there was no 'flow' to it. Also, I wasn't a fan of the italicized pages at the end of the chapters as they sometimes contradicted information from chapters farther along in the book. Lastly, there were instances during the novel where large events were alluded to but were not described previously, such as reconcilations. A couple of times I went back a couple of pages to see if I was missing something. Finally, by the end I began skimming through the pages for important information. I feel some of these issues could have been addressed by the editors.
I really wanted to love this novel. Being an Indo-Canadian myself, I feel this topic of domestic abuse is incredibly important, especially the story of a survivor. However, the writing and small issues I mentioned above distracted me from the novel. The story was the only thing that kept me from giving up on the novel altogether. True story
I read three memoir-type books in a row - The Devil in the Seventh Pew, Black and Blue Sari and The Glass Castle. I did enjoy this book a lot - the life that the protaganist endured and the fact that the LORD granted grace for forgiveness is truly amazing. True story Very hard to read because of all of the abuse but I couldn't put it down till I finished reading. True story A bit brutal at times but I had the privilege of meeting this beautiful lady and am so impressed with her grace and where with all to rise above all she has had to endure. What a Lady!!!!
