"""From its opening words, THE GARDEN OF DELIGHTS weaves a spell with its exquisite prose and intricate world building. Amal Singh has created a lush new society featuring characters both human and godlike, who leap off the page and into your heart. With themes of anti-colonization, betrayal, and forgiveness, this captivating debut should cement Singh as a bold new voice in fantasy."" -- S.B. Divya, Hugo and Nebula nominated author of MERU ""The Garden of Delights is a sensory masterpiece. It is written with both verve and tenderness, its characters and the eponymous garden leaping off the pages to bewitch your mind. It is thrilling, imaginative and spellbinding. Amal, who has written some masterful short stories, proves he's equally adept with the novel form too."" -- Prashanth Srivatsa ""In the tradition of the stories of Sofia Samatar, Amal Singh's The Garden of Delights knits history, politics, myth, and magic into a mosaic of fantasy that will linger with the reader long after they have put this novel down."" -- Gautam Bhatia"
