Summary

From the winner of the Sahitya Akademi Young Writer Award and the Crossword Book Award for FictionShortlisted for The Hindu Prize for Literature 2015 
‘Explores with sharp beauty the mystery at the centre of loving anyone’ Sophie Mackintosh, author of The Water Cure 
How does the world see you? 
Nine characters illuminate an unknowable woman. From the school art teacher who sees a spark of talent in her, to the man whose fleeting passion with her could change his life, to the female student whose friendship turns into love. 
Deeply affecting and luminous, this kaleidoscopic novella explores the nature of intimacy and how each connection you make forms who you are. 
Janice Pariat's award-winning The Nine-Chambered Heart is a literary gem in the contemporary coming of age genre. Short-listed for numerous accolades, this romance is a top choice for those seeking a deep, thought-provoking read. 
For fans of Abraham Verghese (The Covenant of Water), Zoe Gilbert (Thought X), Barbara Kingsolver (Demon Copperhead), Haruki Murakami (Killing Commendatore), and Elif Shafak (The Island of Missing Trees).
