at the time of writing this, delhi and india are facing multiple crises, nearly all man-made, and however bleak the city inside might seem, the truth is that the real world a decade from now will probably be much harsher: this book is set not in a dystopia, but in a best-case scenario. ©

she’d decided, that night, that she wouldn’t leave. that she would stay in India, in delhi, and belong as hard as she could. many years, many good-byes and many funerals later, she still cannot accept that she made a huge mistake. ©
что делать, когда книга с первых страниц бьёт по лицу?
that things weren’t about to get a lot worse. that a day wouldn’t come, soon after, when joey wasn’t allowed to leave her house and her parents didn’t know whether to blame the pogrom or the pandemic, because they’d known the end times were coming but hadn’t known they’d be multiple choice. ©
