“Monkey Beach is a moody, powerful novel full of memorable characters. Reading it was like entering a pool of emerald water to discover a haunted world shivering with loss and love, regret and sorrow, where the spirit world is as real as the human. I was sucked into it with the very first sentence and when I left, it was with a feeling of immense reluctance.” WorldFirstsHumansRealCharacterFeelingsSpiritReadingLeftWaterLossPowerfulNovelRegretSorrowAnd LoveSentencesBeachMemorablePoolImmenseMonkeysEnteringMoodyReluctanceEmeraldsSpirit WorldMemorable Characters Author:Anita Rau Badami
“I don't think anybody in the world is perfect. I don't think anybody is absolutely good or bad or stupid. Each one of us combines all those qualities in our daily lives, I think.” ThinkingWorldPerfectQualityStupidDaily Life Author:Anita Rau Badami
“In most homes, from what I know of them, even though the woman's place in that particular home might be in the home, still, she is queen of her house. So I like exploring the many different incarnations of women in that country, actually. You find quite a range of these women in this book - each one of them embodies a completely different personality type. And how can you write a book that's only full of men, anyway? I mean, half the population of this world is women.” KnowsMenWorldWritingMeanStillsBookDifferentCountryHomeMightHouseHalfThis WorldParticularTypePersonalityPopulationRangeQueensExploringIncarnationPersonality Types Author:Anita Rau Badami
