Book Review

“I Died Too Early” by Sumitra Manda is a heartfelt collection of poems and short reflections that explores heartbreak, childhood pain, womanhood, and healing. Divided into four sections, the book takes readers through different stages of loss, self-discovery, and hope. Each poem feels personal and honest, reminding us that healing is a slow journey and that we can find strength even after difficult experiences.

The writing is simple, clear, and easy to connect with. The poems speak about emotions that many people carry but often struggle to express, including grief, loneliness, trauma, and the search for self-worth. Along with the poems, the short prose pieces and beautiful illustrations add depth to the reading experience. The collection does not try to offer easy solutions; instead, it encourages readers to pause, reflect, and understand their own feelings.
