Stephanie Harrington always expected to be a forest ranger on her homeworld of Meyerdahl. New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and international bestselling phenomenon David Weber delivers the first entry in an original young adult science fiction adventure series, the Star Kingdom saga! Young teen Stephanie Harrington forms a telepathic bond with an intelligent alien treecat on a pioneer planet-and must fight for the freedom of her new friend and his species against highly-placed enemies determined to claim the world for humans only. Urmila Pawarĭeshpande believes that retaining the voice of Aaydan’s narrator has allowed her subject’s fiery personality to be translated from paper on to the actors. Soon after, Deshpande finalised the cast and started to work on the adaptation, which she says is merely an edited version of the book. She was turned down, because the author felt there wouldn’t be a theatre audience for her story. A year after the book’s English translation released in 2009, she asked Pawar’s permission to adapt it for the stage. “In Aaydan, Urmila delicately navigates her readers through her long journey from the harsh landscape of the Konkan region to Mumbai - first as a Mahar and later as a woman - as she challenged the conventions of both caste and gender to emerge as an activist and a strong literary voice,” says Deshpande, who has known Pawar since the 1980s through Maitrini, a women’s group they were both part of.Īlthough Deshpande was familiar with the work, considered one of the most influential Dalit autobiographies, it was a nudge from Mumbai playwright Ramu Ramanathan that led her to consider adapting it. Like the unforgettable rural South Indian worlds those authors bestowed upon us with places like Kanthapura, Kedaram, Khasak, and Malgudi, respectively, Verghese has given us Parambil, a water-filled, near-mythical dreamscape in Kerala. We would also do well to consider Covenant as part of the Indian novel in English lineage that includes literary greats like Raja Rao, K Nagarajan, O V Vijayan, and R K Narayan. Indeed, the literary feats in The Covenant of Water deserve to be lauded as much as those of such canonical authors. There will also be continued invocations of the likes of Charles Dickens and George Eliot to describe Verghese's ambitious literary scope and realism. Much will be written about Abraham Verghese's multigenerational South Indian novel in the coming months and years.Īs we've seen with Verghese's earlier fiction, there will be frequent references to that other celebrated doctor-writer, Anton Chekhov.

Although she feels like dying, instead of enduring this misery, with encouragement from a new found mother, on the voyage, she some how finds the courage to carry on. Amari goes through being beaten, raped, fed very little, being constantly chained and living in waste in a hull of a ship. Amari is in pure shock and horror as she is chained and realizes her entire family was just slaughtered. When there is a bursting sound of a gun shot and everything turns into a chaotic mess of smoke and dust as everyone in the village, very young or old, is killed and all the young adults are rounded up for capture. It seems that nothing could go wrong until white-skinned strangers arrive in seemingly good intentions of making friends and trading. She's engaged to the most handsome man in the village, her father is a chief, and she loves her family. Sharon Draper's Copper Sun tells a riveting story of an African girl, named Amari, living in Africa who has everything going her way. Trotsky, or "Lev" as he is called here, emerges as a twinkly, saint-like figure driven by nothing more controversial than his love for humanity. Kingsolver – or, rather, Shepherd – sketches the various outlandish personalities in the Kahlo-Rivera household: Frida, with her ruffled skirts and filthy tongue concealing a tragic array of physical and mental ailments Diego, a "big toad" who compulsively cheats on her. All the while, he records the daily goings-on in a series of journals. This is Shepherd's first step into the frontline of history – and there he stays, becoming secretary first to Rivera and then to his guest, the exiled Leon Trotsky. Following a chance encounter in a marketplace with "an Azteca queen with ferocious black eyes" – Frida Kahlo – he becomes a domestic servant in the unruly household the artist shares with her husband, the muralist Diego Rivera, who is busy bringing about Mexico's cultural revolution. The story is told by Harrison Shepherd, an apparently unremarkable half-American, half-Mexican boy born to a peripatetic mother in 1920s rural Mexico. It is an admirably ambitious work spanning a fascinating period of history, but it lacks the strong characterisation that made The Poisonwood Bible such a success. The Lacuna, her first novel for 10 years, takes in the Mexican revolution, the exile of Trotsky in Mexico City, the First World War and the communist witch-hunts in 1950s America.
