Book Summary

Released in February 2005 by Anchor Books, Babyji by Abha Dawesar has been variously classified as literary fiction, south asian fiction, fiction, and young adult fiction. Babyji is a winner of the Barbara Gittings Prize in Literature/Stonewall Award from the American Library Association and a Lambda Literary Prize. It was also short-listed for the Prix Fémina and the Prix Médicis Etranger in France.

Sexy, surprising, and subversively wise, Babyji is the story of Anamika Sharma, a spirited student growing up in Delhi. At school she is an ace at quantum physics. At home she sneaks off to her parents’ scooter garage to read the Kamasutra. Before long she has seduced an elegant older divorcée and the family servant, and has caught the eye of a classmate coveted by all the boys.
With the world of adulthood dancing before her, Anamika confronts questions that would test someone twice her age. Ebullient, unfettered, and introducing one of the most charming heroines in contemporary fiction, Babyji is irresistible.
