“‘Name Place Animal Thing’ by @daribhagram was gifted to me by a friend a few years ago when I was visiting Meghalaya for the first time. When I picked it up this month, not only was I reminded of the beloved game Name, Place, Animal, Thing that I played in school, but how those words have changed and gained/lost meaning for me over the years. Super intrigued. Digging into this one now.”—@mehak_jamalThis Women’s Month, join us as we spotlight the incredible women authors we’re honored to represent.

“I picked up the book, ‘Tomb Of Sand’, last month precisely. This thick, 700-something-page book revolves around an 80-year-old woman named Ma, whose world is clouded by grief after her husband passed away. Her story is moving and full of hope as she restarts her interactions with the world, especially with a transgender woman named Rosie. The book not only has a strong visual grammar but is full of emotions. I intend to finish it soon before I lay my hands on the next one.”—@tabeenahThis Women’s Month, join us as we spotlight the incredible women authors we’re honored to represent.
