Glimpses of the launch of my feminist thriller #TheFourthGirl in #Colombo.
A beautiful evening of conversations around women who write, women written & the messy, marvellous territory in between.

I list my favourite female driven #thrillers on @mybookdna
1. The Moonstone: ...Rosanna Spearman deserved better and 150 yrs later I'm still cross about it. A good makes you hold grudges on behalf of people who never existed.

With its intriguing premise and mounting suspense, @ATehsin's novel invites readers to question how well we can ever know the truth and whether some secrets are too dangerous to uncover.

Today is Jayaprakash Narayan’s birth anniversary. Incidentally the JP movement of 1974 was a massive student-led protest against corruption and misgovernance, during Indira Gandhi’s govt.
It gave us regional leaders like Mulayam Singh Yadav, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Nitish Kumar
"Arefa writes with stride of a sturdy, curious, empathetic explorer...tearing apart facades while retaining her quick humour, whimsical wordplay & sharp observation"

"Both haunting and brilliant, I found it impossible to put down."
Thank you, @sombatabyal on these generous words about #TheFourthGirl. Delighted that you enjoyed the story! 🙂
@PenguinIndia
I am impressed with Ishara of Daily News who came to cover the launch and wrote such a remarkable piece on the evening, covering the discussion about women in writing and women written - from the lens of a male #journalist.

#TheFourthGirl connects two cities that are very dear to me-#Udaipur, where I grew up and #Colombo, which I have come to love.
Thank you The Sunday Times & everyone who came and made my first book launch in Colombo such a memorable one.

Will be meeting readers and signing copies of #TheFourthGirl at the Colombo International Book Fair today.

A panel discussion on how stories travel with authors from Turkey and Azerbaijan promises to be interesting. Looking forward!
Pls drop in if you are the @cibf2020.

The Biggest Little Birthday-my new book with Priya Kuriyan by Duckbill, @PenguinIndia!
Faizu wants just 1 thing―to blow out candles on a birthday cake. But in Jugnu Nagar, birthdays are a distant dream. Can Shabbo, his big sister, pull off a little magic?

"The Fourth Girl" is a compelling blend of mystery and human drama, driven by strong, multifaceted characters.

Here's to native love...
My first book club interaction in #Udaipur, ever!
Over the years I have given talks in my hometown before, I have never interacted with a book club. So it made this event organised by Udaipur #BookClub around #TheFourthGirl very special.
