Thrity Umrigar recommends
The Magnificent Ruins (2024)
Nayantara Roy
"The Magnificent Ruins gripped me from the first page and moved me to tears on the last. A wise, beautiful and haunting story about difficult mothers and daughters, the complications of family life, and redefining the meaning of home, this novel will stay close to my heart for a long, long time to come."
The Daughters of Madurai (2023)
Rajasree Variyar
"A haunting, powerful novel [about] a trauma that endures and spawns secrets that spread through the generations. . . . The Daughters of Madurai is also about the cleansing effects of modernity and love and hope."
Unmarriageable (2019)
Soniah Kamal
"Irreverent, witty, and imaginative . . . Austen herself would have enjoyed Kamal's deft retelling of her novel, while sipping a cup of chai."
