| Sunny Singh |
Sunny's debut novel, Nani’s Book Of Suicides, published in 2000, was described as a “first novel of rare scope and power.” The Spanish translation of the novel won the inaugural Mar de Letras prize in 2003.
Her second book, a work of non-fiction titled Single In The City: The Independent Woman’s Handbook (2001), was a first-of-its-kind exploration of single women in contemporary India and was described as “witty and insightful.”
Her second novel, With Krishna’s Eyes (2006), has been commended for its “profound insight” and described as “memorable”.
Her latest novel, Hotel Arcadia, is published by Quartet Books and is available from bookshops and e-retailers across UK. Hotel Arcadia has been described as a literary thriller, but Sunny says the inspiration came from the love story of characters in Dante's Inferno. Lindsay Bamfield will be asking Sunny about the novel's journey from inspiration to publication as well as exploring the influences and issues that inform her writing.
