Eating Wasps

In a small town by the river Nila, a thirty-five-year-old writer kills herself. No one knows why. Fifty-two years later, an antique cupboard in a private resort opens to reveal a frightened child. And the mystery begins to unravel. From the bestselling author of Ladies Coupe comes an unusual new novel about the intensity – and consequences – of desire.

Anita Nair is a bestselling and widely acclaimed novelist. Among her several books, The Better Man, Ladies Coupé and Mistress have been translated into over twenty-five languages around the world. She received the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award in 2012.
