The Roof Beneath Their Feet

<p><strong>First publication (outside of India) for this playful and moving masterpiece of psychological intrigue and feminist space-making by the International Booker winner</strong></p><p>In this Indian modern classic by the International Booker Prize-winning author, roofs are meant for wild things, for romance and for play. They are realms of freedom – freedom from the male gaze, sexual freedom and freedom from society. Chachcho and Lalna use their roofs to build a friendship that transcends time and memory.</p><p>‘One of the finest Hindi writers, Geetanjali has created for herself a thoughtful, lyrical and contemporary fictional world, which is free from moral posturing and political hectoring. And Rahul Soni’s English translation of <em>The Roof Beneath Their Feet</em> is attentive to its poetic nuances and intelligently responsive to its complexity.’ Alok Bhalla</p><p>‘In <em>The Roof Beneath Their Feet</em>, Geetanjali Shree has created a dazzling, multifaceted narrative that plays around with shifting time and perception, leading the reader on a wild journey as only she can. Rahul Soni’s fleet-footed translation keeps up with Shree’s pyrotechnics, nimbly evoking a world like no other.’ Jeremy Tiang</p>
