ABOUT THE BOOK

Winner of the International Booker Prize 2025
Winner of the PEN Translates Award
Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Gregg Barrios Book in Translation Prize 2025

In the twelve stories of Heart Lamp, Banu Mushtaq exquisitely captures the everyday lives of women and girls in Muslim communities in southern India. Praised for their dry and gentle humour, these portraits of family and community tensions have garnered both censure from conservative quarters as well as India’s most prestigious literary awards.
