Shankari Chandran Libri

Shankari Chandran crea avvincenti thriller distopici, attingendo fortemente dal suo decennio come avvocato per la giustizia sociale. La sua vasta esperienza nel diritto internazionale umanitario, dalla Baia di Guantanamo alla consulenza al Primo Ministro del Regno Unito, le ha fornito profonde intuizioni sui limiti legali e sull'impatto sociale delle libertà civili sovvertite. Questi temi critici formano il nucleo tematico delle sue narrazioni, esplorando la fragilità della società di fronte a regimi oppressivi e all'abuso di potere. La scrittura di Chandran è una potente testimonianza della sua comprensione diretta dei conflitti e delle ingiustizie globali, offrendo ai lettori emozionanti esplorazioni dei potenziali più oscuri dell'umanità.

Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens

Welcome to Cinnamon Gardens, a home for those who are lost and the stories they treasure. Cinnamon Gardens Nursing Home is nestled in the quiet suburb of Westgrove, Sydney – populated with residents with colourful histories, each with their own secrets, triumphs and failings. This is their safe place, an oasis of familiar delights – a beautiful garden, a busy kitchen and a bountiful recreation schedule. But this ordinary neighbourhood is not without its prejudices. The serenity of Cinnamon Gardens is threatened by malignant forces more interested in what makes this refuge different rather than embracing the calm companionship that makes this place home to so many. As those who challenge the residents’ existence make their stand against the nursing home with devastating consequences, our characters are forced to reckon with a country divided. Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens is about family and memory, community and race, but is ultimately a love letter to story-telling and how our stories shape who we are.Winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award.
