Crying Is for Women: A Song of Train, Farangis, & Freedoms

By Zafarul Azam

- A man, out for prayers, is found dead by a river bank and the reader is off to the races in this relentlessly paced twentieth century chronicle.

- A child of humble beginnings grows up to find himself thrown into turbulent events that altered the direction of human history. The roots of this tale takes the reader all the way back to the Indian sepoy mutiny of 1857.

- Human irrationality is front and center in this historical fiction theater. The book's provocative title is but one example of such, now outdated, criteria formulated by man.

This is a story of a repressed teen with simple dreams, his close friendship with a transgender person, and the struggle to improve his life in a very turbulent period in the history of the Indian Subcontinent.

Strong female characters contrast the story to its provocative title, an example is the the coprotagonist, a strong, independent woman who would stop at nothing to achieve what she believes in.
