The Gypsy Goddess by Meena Kandasamy

The Gypsy Goddess by Meena Kandasamy

The provocative debut by the Women's Fiction Prize 2018-shortlisted author of When I Hit You. When women take to protest, there is no looking back. Sometimes it is over working conditions, other times, perhaps, a strike for higher wages. And so, in a hungry, back-broken community of villages in Tamil Nadu, a group of rural workers begin to defy their landlords. The landlords, in turn, vow to violently crush them. But these punishments only serve to strengthen the villagers' resistance - after all, when starvation is the only option, what else is there to lose...?

Dazzling, maddening, often hilarious * The Times *
Powerful, lyrical, radical * Guardian *
A novel of unmistakable fury * Independent *
One of fiction's most fiery and unclassifiable of polemicists -- Claire Armistead * Observer *
