1 min read
Namrata reviews Kiran Manral’s The Moon in the Lining of Her Skin (Hachette India, 2024) calling it a powerful blend of Indian myth, folklore, and traditional societal norms with supernatural elements.
Kiran Manral’s The Moon in the Lining of Her Skin (Hachette India, 2024) plunges readers into a richly atmospheric tale, blending elements of fantasy, folklore, and the paranormal.
With a deft hand, Manral crafts a narrative that feels at once otherworldly and intimately human, as she explores the turbulent lives of three women—Noor, Rani, and Gulab—whose fates are deeply intertwined. These women, each haunted by their pasts and navigating dark forces, become the emotional and narrative anchors in a world fraught with supernatural danger.
