Tomb Of Sand (Ret Samadhi)
Geetanjali Shree, Daisy Rockwell (translation)Tomb of Sand, written by Geetanjali Shree & translated by Daisy Rockwell, won the 2022 International Booker Prize for Translated Fiction.
Tomb of Sand is the first book originally written in any Indian language to win the International Booker Prize, & the first novel translated from Hindi to be recognised by the award. Set in northern India, the novel follows the adventures of an 80-year-old woman who unexpectedly gains a new, & highly unconventional, lease on life. The result is a book that is engaging, funny & utterly original, at the same time as being an urgent and timely protest against the destructive impact of borders & boundaries - whether between religions, countries or genders.
"This is a luminous novel of India & partition, but one whose spellbinding brio & fierce compassion weaves youth & age, male & female, family & nation into a kaleidoscopic whole." — Frank Wynne, Chair of the Booker Prize judges
