Description
Savage Beasts by Rani Selvarajah is a propulsive retelling inspired by the Greek myth of Medea. Set in 1757 Calcutta, the story follows Meena, the Nawab's neglected and abused daughter, as she finds herself falling under the spell of James Chilcott, nephew of Sir Peter Chilcott, who claims he wants to betray the company for a price. Caught between friend and foe, Meena and James escape Calcutta, their hands stained in blood and pockets filled with gold. As they navigate their new life in Ceylon, past resentments and present betrayals begin to pile up, forcing Meena to confront what she is willing to sacrifice when love turns to hate. A clever and compassionate retelling of the Medea myth, Savage Beasts weaves together a vibrant and brand new narrative that explores themes of love, loyalty, and survival.
