In the idyllic hill country of Sri Lanka, a young girl grows up with her loving family, but even in paradise, terror lurks. 

Although she thrives in her new life in America, her scars haunt her into adulthood, and she sees no other choice than to commit an unforgivable final act. 

This is her confession.

It’s been a minute since we last shared what the PH team is currently reading. 🤓This month, we’re all (unintentionally) reading stories set in India in some shape or form.

📖 Sam: ‘The Immortals of Meluha’ by Amish Tripathi
is set in a mythical version of ancient India. This gripping fantasy reimagines Lord Shiva as a mortal hero whose choices shape a civilisation’s destiny.

📖Ameena: ‘Miss Timmins’ School for Girls’ by Nayana Currimbhoy
is a murder mystery wrapped in coming-of-age drama, set in a 1970s hill-station boarding school in western India.

📖 Sahi: ‘Sister of My Heart’ by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
is a lyrical tale of two cousins bound by secrets and sisterhood. Spanning Calcutta and California, this emotional novel dives into family expectations, love, and sacrifice.

Let us know if you’ve read any of these books in the comments!

In ‘Democracy Stillborn,’ Rajan & Kirupaimalar Hoole explore how Sri Lanka’s promise of equal rights was broken at birth.

It highlights the erosion of civil rights and the rise of ethno-chauvinism, resulting in a weakened labour movement and a compromised judiciary. Despite the country’s fatigue with revolutions, the writers advocate for a revival of democratic principles through a courageous judiciary that can challenge unjust laws.
