Riassunto

A leader among her peers, intellectual teenager Anamika Sharma finds herself drawn by the lure of sensuality, torn between her scholarly pursuits and her yearning for a life of pure sensation, between the dictates of high caste and her own dreams, and between her sexual adventures and the heartache of the people she loves. A first novel. Original. 30,000 first printing.

Recensione:

“If Lolita had grown up in India, she might have debuted in a novel like this. Babyji is riveting, a great gift to read.” –Vendela Vida, author of And Now You Can Go

“I loved Babyji. It’s a cunning lithe defiant sexy tiger’s roar of a book.” –Ali Smith, author of Hotel World

“From the moment Abha Dawesar dropped me slap-bang into the middle of Anamika’s complicated life, I found myself fascinated. How often does one encounter a sixteen-year-old who applies her preternatural intellect not only to her far-ranging sexual conquests but also to quantum physics and India’s complex caste politics? Irreverent yet tender, compassionate yet hard-headed, precociously wise and undeniably sexy, Dawesar’s Anamika channels a wonderful new Indian reality. More power to her.” –Meera Nair, author of Video

“I loved Babyji. It’s a cunning lithe defiant sexy tiger’s roar of a book.” –Ali Smith, author of Hotel World
