‘The Last Courtesan: Writing My Mother’s Memoir’ by Manish Gaekwad
This is a gritty tale that Manish Gaekwad narrates about his mother’s life. Her memoir was recorded and written in 2020 – 2022. Rekha Devi died in February the following year. It must have been extremely challenging for Manish to write her story. Yet, I believe, this writing was necessary for him to come to terms with both his mother, himself and their fraught relationship.
