2022 INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE WINNER English Pen Award Winner In northern India, an 80-year-old woman is struggling to recover from a deep depression after the death of her husband. Her determination to defy convention, including her friendship with a transgender person, confuses her unconventional daughter. To her family's dismay, Ma insisted on traveling to Pakistan while also grappling with the unresolved trauma of her teenage split experiences and re-evaluating what it meant to be a mother, daughter, woman and feminist. I'm here. Rather than addressing tragedy seriously, Geetanjali Shree's playful tone and exuberant wordplay make for an engaging, witty, and utterly original book that explores religious, national, or gender differences. It is also an urgent and timely protest against the destructive effects of borders and borders.
