nilanjana s roy
I spent much of my life as a reader, booklover, editor and writer, and started to write novels in my late thirties. The Wildings (2012), and The Hundred Names of Darkness (2013) are award-winning fantasy novels; Black River (2022), Delhi noir fiction, was named one of the best crime novels of 2023 by The Guardian. I’ve also edited three anthologies, most recently Our Freedoms (2021), and published a collection of essays, The Girl Who Ate Books (2016), on the lifelong love of reading. I live in Delhi with my husband and four irrepressible cats, and write about books for the Financial Times.
