On the banks of a sacred river, in the heart of India, a battle is brewing. Not with weapons but with words, wisdom and wills. When a bold young girl dares to dream beyond her village and a mysterious stranger arrives with promises of progress, centuries of tradition are put to the test.
The Wrong Gods is a fierce showdown between the old world and the new. Between land and money, gods and markets, mothers and daughters. It’s part epic, part fable, part call to arms.
Funny, moving, and quietly political, The Wrong Gods is about the cost of ambition, the fight for self-determination, and the complicated inheritance of a world in flux.
Don’t miss your chance to be captivated by yet another remarkable and thought-provoking work by S. Shakthidharan (Counting and Cracking).
