I feel engaged and slightly tantalized. She is an enchantress, comfortable in herself, strong. I enjoy seeing her after just finishing Veena Talwar Oldenburg's article on courtesans and resistance. I feel she really fits the character of the women I was reading about with a strong purposeful seduction, she is in control. I enjoy how you turn from the back to the front in the beginning and am wondering if there are more parts, either throughout, or a new section of hiding and revealing all or parts of yourself. Especially if you keep the title of hidden tamarind.
