Trauma, forgiveness, hope, marriage and the shame around mental health are all explored in this beautiful, complex and funny story set in 1970s New Delhi. It's the first novel from Appachana in 20 years and one to be savoured * Stylist (Big Fiction Books for 2023) *
Tender and poignant * Woman's Weekly *
Love, longing, terror and healing all come into play in Anjana Appachana's New Delhi set novel, Fear and Lovely * The Handbook (a 'best new book release arriving this month') *
A story written with confidence and panache, sprinkled with humour * TripFiction *
Some novels melt your heart. For me, this is one of them. Anjana Appachana's Fear and Lovely is beautiful, wise, funny and deeply moving. It's bursting with emotion, truth, secrets and love, all written with such insight and tenderness. I loved it -- RACHEL ELLIOTT
