And I Am The Arrow

“A gripping intergenerational story of wide compass and deep compassion. I enjoyed it enormously.”– Jo Baker, author of The Midnight News and Longbourn

“To read this book is to feel as alive as a ghost, seeing, noticing, smelling, hearing lives that a jaded world renders subsonic. This is a desperately life-loving novel. I’ll read it again, now.”– Sumana Roy, author of How I Became a Tree

“A stunning debut novel exploring severed selves and the myriad ways we can hold one another close. The intricately layered chapters build a polyvocal mosaic that reveals secrets and intimacies, drawing us in and keeping the pages turning. Ghosh-Roy’s prose, deftly moving between the playful and poetic, bristles with keen observations on life, death, and the spaces in between. I was so deeply invested in the characters (and furious, at times, with some of them). What an achievement–what a story.”– Melissa Fu, author of Peach Blossom Spring

“Elegant and expansive, Ghosh-Roy excavates the fault lines of family life with great sensitivity and grace.”– Mahesh Rao, author of The Smoke Is Rising and Half Light
