Review:
"If Lolita had grown up in India, she might have debuted in a novel like this. Babyji is riveting, a great gift to read." -Vendela Vida, author of And Now You Can Go "I loved Babyji. It's a cunning lithe defiant sexy tiger's roar of a book." -Ali Smith, author of Hotel World "From the moment Abha Dawesar dropped me slap-bang into the middle of Anamika's complicated life, I found myself fascinated. How often does one encounter a sixteen-year-old who applies her preternatural intellect not only to her far-ranging sexual conquests but also to quantum physics and India's complex caste politics? Irreverent yet tender, compassionate yet hard-headed, precociously wise and undeniably sexy, Dawesar's Anamika channels a wonderful new Indian reality. More power to her." -Meera Nair, author of Video "I loved Babyji. It's a cunning lithe defiant sexy tiger's roar of a book." -Ali Smith, author of Hotel World
