Burnt Sugar was shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2020, longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2021, won the Sushila Devi Award 2021, and was named a New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2021. 'I would be lying if I said my mother's misery has never given me pleasure.' This is a tale of obsession and betrayal. This is a poisoned love story. But not between lovers - between mother and daughter. Tara and Antara, a woman and her angry shadow. But which one is which? Sharp as a blade and compulsively readable, Burnt Sugar slowly untangles the knot of memory and rumour that binds two women together, revealing the truth that lies beneath.
