“If Lolita had grown up in India, she might have debuted in a novel
like this. Babyji is riveting, a great gift to read.” –Vendela
Vida, author of And Now You Can Go
“I loved Babyji. It’s a cunning lithe defiant sexy tiger’s roar of
a book.” –Ali Smith, author of Hotel World
“From the moment Abha Dawesar dropped me slap-bang into the middle
of Anamika’s complicated life, I found myself fascinated. How often
does one encounter a sixteen-year-old who applies her preternatural
intellect not only to her far-ranging sexual conquests but also to
quantum physics and India’s complex caste politics? Irreverent yet
tender, compassionate yet hard-headed, precociously wise and
undeniably sexy, Dawesar’s Anamika channels a wonderful new Indian
reality. More power to her.” –Meera Nair, author of Video
“I loved Babyji. It’s a cunning lithe defiant sexy tiger’s roar of
