Dont miss this one! My blurb: As fun--& funny--a book about the tragedy of growing up poor & a woman in India as you're likely to read, fishing bright, barbed new folklores & horrors out of the roiling ocean of hopelessness that threatens to drown the life of a small-town Indian schoolgirl.

"Some of the diagrams looked like young girls and others looked like giant insects. The text portions almost read like botanical entries, except that they included warnings and danger rankings. 'It's just a book,' she said to herself. 'I am not afraid of it...'" @kuzhalimanickavel.bsky.social
