SHORTLISTED FOR 2007 CROSSWORD BOOK PRIZE 

It’s raining in Shillong. Eight-year-old Sophie Das has just realised she is adopted, but there is also the baby kicking inside her mother’s stomach whom she’s dying to meet. IAS aspirant Aman Moondy is planning a first-of-its-kind Happening and praying the lovely Concordella will come. College lecturer Firdaus Ansari is going to finish her thesis, have a hard talk with her boyfriend, and then get out.

Poetic, funny, tender, Lunatic In My Head is a moving portrait of a small town and of three people joined to each other in an intricate web, determined to break out of their small town destinies.

“A classic” — BIBLIO

“Here is a writer of worth, and worth reading” — The Hindu

“The delicacy and pungency of her portraits of these characters is very striking, as is her evocation of the provincial milieu of ‘the hill-encircled town’ in which they live, and against whose ingrained codes they beat their wings” — Mint

“Compelling” — Hindustan Times
