YOUR FIRST TICKET IS FREE

What happens when love, power, revenge and fate collide?

This month, NortheastReads is giving one lucky reader the chance to win a copy of The Distaste of the Earth by acclaimed Meghalaya writer Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih.

Inspired by the true and tragic love story of Manik Raitong and Lieng Makaw, this ambitious novel takes readers into a richly imagined world of Khasi kings and queens, warriors and plunderers—where love crosses boundaries, animals have stories of their own, and retribution eventually comes for everyone.

Longlisted for the JCB Prize for Literature 2024, the novel explores greed and oppression, revenge and justice, love and tragedy, strife and peace.

📖 One book. One winner. One unforgettable journey into a world rooted in the hills of Meghalaya.

Enter the giveaway and discover a remarkable work of Northeast Indian literature.
