Staff Pick

Set in late-18th-century India, this unforgettable adventure novel is a must read. Beautifully written and with vivid and powerful imagery, Anila's Journey tells of a determined orphan's quest to earn her own living and discover what has happened to her long-missing father. A brilliant debut from Irish novelist Mary Finn.

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Set in colonial India, this richly layered coming-of-age tale follows a spirited young artist on a journey up the Ganges — and through the enigmas of her past.

How can Anila Tandy, left to fend for herself after her mother's death, dare to apply for a job that is clearly not meant for a woman? But somehow the Bird Girl of Calcutta, art supplies in hand, finds herself on an eye-opening journey up the Ganges, apprenticed to a gentleman scientist. As the lush landscape slips by, Anila dives into her past — a past where her beautiful Bengali mother still tells stories and her Irish father's mysterious disappearance lingers. Gorgeously written and rich with atmosphere, Mary Finn's debut novel tells the story of a determined young artist who must make her way in the dangerous world of late-eighteenth-century India.
