Few authors take the risk of focusing on socially delicate subjects especially which have very strong effects on the society at large. Women empowerment always remains one subject of discussion. But who has to empower women becomes the question that keeps resonating in the background. Ashmita Reddy's "The Shero: Silent Hero" gives the answer to that. It is women who can empower women better. The novel may be short, but the subject it focuses on is very powerful and very important from the viewpoint of Indian society. There are many places in India where the difference among male and female child still continues.
The protagonist, Sachi comes across as a strong and determined individual who focusses on the work she has to do. But along with that, her husband, Ved also supports her through. This is suggestive of the fact that empowerment can not just be done by one gender. If both work together as a team, the result would be much better. The book is a fine read for all those who want to read something which is a critical subject and needs attention. The language is simple and the narration is finely done. The pace of the plot is also appropriate to keep the interest of the reader sustained throughout.
