Preti Taneja recommends
Night of a Thousand Hells (2026)
Intan Paramaditha
"Night of a Thousand Hells is written from the heart; as moving and immersive as it is stylish and important - a story of women trying to survive, propelled by the equal forces of rage and love, all set against a brilliantly realised world of myths, faith and devastating politics. Spellbinding."
there are more things (2022)
Yara Rodrigues Fowler
"A novel as a stack of polaroids, whose every day moments are saturated with the love, pain and grief women carry across generations and political movements, there are more things is a beautiful, unusual and vital novel, seeking and forging powerful connections across time."
The Snow Line (2021)
Tessa McWatt
"A profound meditation on the music that strangers in a place can make together, and on how the music of a strange place can get inside us, and change us forever. I loved the journey the book takes us on, revisiting some of the geographies readers will remember from The Far Pavilions, while the echoes of King Lear provide an undercurrent of nature’s aloofness, its potential for violence."
