Meira Chand

    Meira Chand esplora la ricerca di identità e appartenenza nei suoi romanzi. Le sue opere, spesso ambientate in Giappone, India o Singapore coloniale, ritraggono complesse interazioni tra culture e gli individui che le attraversano. Chand cattura magistralmente l'atmosfera delle sue ambientazioni e le lotte interiori dei suoi personaggi mentre affrontano pregiudizi, tradizioni e il desiderio di un posto da chiamare proprio. La sua scrittura offre profonde intuizioni sull'esperienza umana e la ricerca universale di un focolare.
