Despite a lack of narrative focus, Anisha Lalvani’s ‘Girls Who Stray’ presents a poetic voice echoing the angsts of a generation of Indians, and specifically, of Indian women who refuse to be assigned to their roles. By @KaranMadhok1

'Girls Who Stray': Anisha Lalvani's Debut Novel Navigates The Discontent Of Urban India
Lalvani's debut novel is a moody, politically charged thriller that explores class, gender, and isolation in urban India with a scalpel-sharp psychological edge.

'Girls Who Stray' traces the life of a young girl who drifts in an India blindly hurtling towards progress. My review of Anisha Lalwani's novel. #BookReview@BloomsburyIndia

#WeekendReads | @AnishaL_Writer’s debut novel, #GirlsWhoStray, is a haunting, poetic coming-of-age tale about a nameless young woman caught between disillusionment, desire, and despair.

An engaging evening at Goethe Darbaar, reflecting on how defiant women in urban India are unlearning the “good girl” syndrome and navigating the many flipsides of patriarchy, from the everyday to the unexpected. Delighted to have attended this thought-provoking exchange.
#Books | Raw & brutal, Anisha Lalvani's Girls Who Stray settles into the mind like an itch whose jagged edges have to be scratched to find relief.

Last year in Nov I was introduced to this writer who was so shy that I was worried about how would we do the marketing for this book.
This November his gorgeous book is on every shortlist.
Rooting for you tonight @SaharuNusaiba.
Chronicle deserves every bit of the fanfare.
