Join Shoe Lane Library and authors Zahirra Dayal and Arathi Menon in conversation on identity, family and love.

Debut authors Zahirra Dayal and Arathi Menon will discuss writing their evocative novels, set in Zimbabwe and India respectively. Copies of their moving novels will be available for sale.

Da by Arathi Menon:

Set in an Indian metropolis in 2013, Da is a tender story of a boy caught between devotion and fear, chronicling the everyday courage it takes to love someone the world refuses to accept.

‘The Whispering Jacarandas’ by Zahirra Dayal:

The Whispering Jacarandas evokes the beauty and resilience of its namesake blooms while exploring how love, loyalty, and the search for belonging endure in even the harshest of landscapes.
