Shankari Chandran was raised in Canberra, Australia. She spent a decade in London, working as a lawyer in the social justice field. She eventually returned home to Australia, where she now lives with her husband and four children. She is the author of Safe Haven, Song of the Sun God, The Barrier and Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens, which won the 2023 Miles Franklin Literary Award.
‘Chandran’s Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens won the 2023 Miles Franklin, and her latest novel moves like a thriller into a story of violence, intrigue and danger, chasing one small reckoning for a nation rebuilding itself after decades of conflict and destruction. It’s a rare thriller that speaks with such urgency and passion to broader concerns in war: truth might be the first casualty of armed conflict but, sadly, the corpses of journalists are never far behind.’ * Sydney Morning Herald *
