With a compassionate voice, Santanu Bhattacharya writes to highlight the unfulfilled beauty of the 21st-century Indian nation and his hopes for the future. His debut novel One Small Voice (2023) reveals the mental and societal forces that haunt individuals in India with their subtle and unsubtle presence, and has been admired for its political immediacy and its emotional urgency. Winner of the 2021 Mo Siewcharran Prize, Life Writing Prize and London Writers’ Awards, Santanu puts down words on paper so that we remember uncomfortable truths and become aware of our reality.
