First publication (outside of India) for this playful and moving masterpiece of psychological intrigue and feminist space-making by the International Booker winner

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.

‘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 The Roof Beneath Their Feet is attentive to its poetic nuances and intelligently responsive to its complexity.’ Alok Bhalla

‘In The Roof Beneath Their Feet, 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
