SHREE, Geetanjali
The Roof Beneath Their Feet

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.
