BABYJI BY ABHA DAWESA

Recommended by: Saikat Majumdar, author of The Scent of God, The Firebird among others

“The book is a coming-of-age narrative, centring on the experiences of a teenage girl, Anamika Sharma, who goes through an experimental but purposeful sexual awakening via intimate relationships with three women. Written in a brisk and enjoyable way, Babyji is a hidden mirror to a conservative Indian society. More men, I feel, should read about intimacy between women so as to educate themselves about social and erotic worlds that are free of masculine interference.
