But with the effect it has on them all, you know it has to be something utterly traumatic and devastating, or else it’s going to be a huge anti-climax when the reveal finally comes. Talk about annoying! When every character in the book knows what happened and refers to it constantly, without mentioning what it actually was, it leads to contrived dialogue, silly hints, a desperate attempt to build tension using the clumsiest of devices. …unfortunately, Moriarty decides not to tell the reader what that something is for roughly half the book.

I never wanted this book to just be about my world.Īfter coming out as Dalit, you’ve received comments like, “Oh, but you don’t look like a Dalit”. So the idea of just writing my own story was odd for me. Including the stories of other Dalits, but doing that with data, facts and research, was a deliberate choice.
