The event begins at 7pm. Come meet the author and enjoy the book reading and signing in Blackwell's famous Norrington Room.

Prajwal, who finished the Master's programme in 2012, had no sooner started the course than he signed a two-book deal with Quercus to publish his collection of short stories. The Ghurka's Daughter, and Land Where I Flee, a novel. Only 26 at the time, Prajwal was the youngest Indian national to sign an international book deal.
