Rajorshi Chakraborti: Shakti

What can the power of women achieve in a world run by men? Rajorshi Chakraborti’s just-released novel, Shakti, is a fast-paced story of standing up for what is right in a world going very wrong. Mind-reading, wish-granting goddesses, right-wing regimes and the everyday trials of life in a city collide.

RNZ’s Lynn Freeman talks to Rajorshi about writing fiction that challenges, entertains and takes readers into places they might never think to go.
