ⓘ About Geetanjali Shree

Geetanjali Shree is an Indian short story writer and novelist best known for “Ret Samadhi” her Hindi Language novel. She would gain notoriety when Daisy Rockwell translated the novel into English and titled it “Tomb of Sand.” It would prove a masterstroke as the novel would become one of the best books of 2022 and it would win the International Booker Prize. Geetanjali would then convert her research into the literary works by Premchand into a novel and this marked her foray into the world of authorship. Looking to the past, Suna talks about their past life and their mother at a time when everything seemed so imperfect but was still intact. The author gives insights into how the mother complex is not European but rather a universal thing that women all over the world have to deal with.
