I just finished my dear friend Shveta Thakrar's newest book and can't recommend it enough. Dream magic and Hindu mythology weave together to create a lush and immersive world sprinkled with literary faerie tales. One thing I so admire about all of Shveta's writing is the compassion and empathy at its heart. So much of fantasy takes the "solve by stabbing" approach to problem solving, but I love how Shveta's characters resolve conflict with creativity, compassion, and communication. Plus, her aesthetics are a dream in and of themselves.
I was so honored to go to the launch party for this beautiful book, and can't wait for the next one!

Gossiping with my mom while we oil our hair, mindlessly trying to follow Aishwarya's steps as I watch the Tere Bina music video once again, licking excess daal from my fingers and going to dawats in an embroidered salwar. A brown bitch has never been more at peace.
