📝 SYNOPSIS:

"A powerful, intimate collection that gives voice to the unspoken lives of women in the Tamil community."

Goddess in the Living Room is a stunning collection of short stories by the acclaimed writer Latha. Through these pages, she explores the domestic lives, secret desires, and silent sacrifices of women navigating the complexities of tradition and modernity in Singapore and beyond.

Latha masterfully pulls back the curtain on the "living room" facade to reveal:

• Domestic Realities: The tension between being a "goddess" of the home and a woman with her own identity.

• Generational Shifts: The evolving roles of mothers, daughters, and grandmothers within the Indian diaspora.

• The Power of Resilience: How these women find strength and agency in a world that often tries to define them.

Shortlisted for the Epigram Books Fiction Prize and originally written in Tamil, this translation brings Latha’s sharp observations and empathetic storytelling to a wider audience. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the diverse, lived experiences of Southeast Asian women.
