Description:
<p><strong>Engrossing, witty yet devastating stories about diasporic Indians that deftly question what it means to be safe, to survive, and to call a place home.</strong></p>
<p>An underappreciated coffee shop server haunted by her past attracts thousands of followers on social media with her peacock jewellery. A hotel housekeeper up against a world of gender and class inequity quietly gets revenge on her chauvinist boss. And a foster child, orphaned in an accident directly attributable to climate change, brings down her foster father, an oil lobbyist, in spectacular fashion.</p>
<p>With an intense awareness of privilege and the lack of it, the fourteen stunning stories in <em>Peacocks of Instagram</em> explore what it means to be safe, to survive, and to call a place home. </p>
