Meira Chand Boeken
Meira Chand onderzoekt in haar romans de zoektocht naar identiteit en ergens bij horen. Haar werken, vaak gesitueerd tegen de achtergrond van Japan, India of koloniaal Singapore, portretteren complexe interacties tussen culturen en de individuen die zich daarin bewegen. Chand vangt meesterlijk de sfeer van haar locaties en de innerlijke strijd van haar personages, die worstelen met vooroordelen, tradities en het verlangen naar een eigen plek. Haar schrijven biedt diepgaande inzichten in de menselijke ervaring en de universele zoektocht naar thuis.
