Book Summary
A unique collection of essays from one of India's best-loved critics
One of India's most widely read journalists, Nilanjana Roy has been writing reviews, columns, essays and features for over two decades. The Girl Who Ate Books reinvents the best of these occasional pieces and weaves them together with a set of new personal essays. From early memories of living in a house made of books, to encounters with men and women who hoarded them, to the author's first taste of the printed word - this is a memoir of reading, loving and living with books like no other. Written in her understated but unfailingly elegant style, this is an indispensable collection for those who live to read and read to live.
