Can't stop thinking about Beyond Our Births, debut book by @antarawrites. Stirred some thoughts about our identities across borders, esp now in this political climate. Personal is political, yet again.

Thanks a ton, @chauhananjali98, for this thoughtful spread. Means a lot. 😄

No political disagreement can ever justify humiliating or degrading a woman. Argue over politics all you want, but attacking a woman’s dignity or shaming her is unacceptable. It is neither funny nor clever. It is simply disrespectful.
HIT or MISS?
Indian Express Sunday Magazine’s Quick Verdict is that the book is a HIT!
The review calls the book a “socio-political commentary on how the circumstances of birth shape the trajectory of one’s life.”
Thank you Reva Thakkar & team IE for this generous review
‘Beyond our Births’ has been selected as the BOTM by The Book Club at the Himalayan Writing Retreat.
Gratitude to the HWR team for supporting writers & for building a vibrant community.

Overjoyed to be publishing this sublime Bildungsroman by @antarawrites this month. It tears apart conventional notions of borders, nations and kinship with great gentleness. Rare is writing filled with such a deep capacity to move you emotionally and with lyrical ease.

Antara Mukherjee’s new novel follows a young girl across India and Bangladesh as she discovers the meaning of home – a border-crossing story that will resonate with South Asian diasporas and readers shaped by migration, writes @Juliadutta

I hope she finds the same love out there in the world.

If stories about belonging & migration appeal to you, you may want to want to read about Nimki, a small girl displaced at the Bengal Bangladesh border.
