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

London got off to a good start. Went looking for a pub which would still serve (was midnight, unlike Berlin, this city closes early) and stumbled upon an old phone booth turned into a library. I broke the rules, you're supposed to leave a book behind if you take one but I don't HAVE a book and I wanted to reread Jane Eyre so I left clutching it. The pub was closing, alas, but I do have a book now so that's something. #london #traveldiaries
