A novel about a family during World War II, set on the homefront in Springield, Mass., and in the South Pacific. The book focuses on four characters and how their lives were affected and changed during the war years.
I am the author of several works for the Kindle, A Deconstructed Heart and my historical fiction short stories series: The Purana Qila Stories, which includes A Change in the Weather and The Dust Beneath Her Feet.
Background
Information
I grew up in India and England, and my outsider's perspective has always drawn me to stories about India/Indians in the west, a theme I love to explore in my own writing. I am also inspired by my mother's tales of poverty in India and her journey fired my imagination from the smallest age. I began with poetry and moved into prose as I realized that good prose is full of poetry, with care taken so that each word is exactly right and reverberates with associations.
Accomplishments
I won a national essay competition about life in India held by the Indian High Commission in England and have been published in the Cadbury's Book of Children's Poetry, Tomorrow magazine and Nadopasana One.
