My latest book is The One Who Swam With The Fishes.

"A mesmerizing account of the well-known story of Matsyagandha ... and her transformation from fisherman’s daughter to Satyavati, Santanu’s royal consort and the Mother/Progenitor of the Kuru clan." - Hindustan Times

"Themes of fate, morality and power overlay a subtle and essential feminism to make this lyrical book a must-read. If this is Madhavan’s first book in the Girls from the Mahabharata series, there is much to look forward to in the months to come." - Open Magazine

"A gleeful dollop of Blytonian magic ... Reddy Madhavan is also able to tackle some fairly sensitive subjects such as identity, the love of and karmic ties with parents, adoption, the first sexual encounter, loneliness, and my favourite, feminist rage." - Scroll

Today in Photo


In front of my favourite building! I'm the small orange figure on the stairs. K and I have taken to going together about once a week (sometimes once in five days) and coming back with kilos of books. Rainy day so we checked out books and in non library related things: ate some lovely and spicy noodles at a new Schezwan place called (lol) Mián, and bought a new second hand dishwasher! Big win for a sleepy Saturday with no plans. #berlinna #library
