Parvati Sharma

Parvati Sharma’s debut, The Dead Camel and Other Stories of Love, earned her a cult following for its depictions of love and sexuality in urban India, and its ‘lightness [and] lucidity’. Her novella, Close to Home, was acclaimed as ‘tender, acute and pulsing with real Indian life’. She has also written a book for children, The Story of Babur. Sharma lives in New Delhi, where she has studied English literature and Indian history, and worked
as a travel writer, editor and journalist.
