Mohini 

NASIMA ANIS 

Translated from the Bengali by SARBAN BANDYOPADHYAY 

A powerful tale of Mohini, a transwoman who defies injustice, seeks dignity, and builds chosen family while fighting to rewrite her destiny and identity.

---------

In this world, all are not made equal. This is a tale that brings to the fore one section of those that writhe and survive in the darker side of the equation. Born a transwoman, Mohini is a rebel by nature and compulsion. A survivor, she refuses to settle into unjust social negotiations, dreams warm and big, and claims a shining sliver of joy and fulfilment for herself. She is not alone, though. She fights as her fleeting found-family surrounds her with light and warmth. Will Mohini succeed in writing herself a new story? For her and for all humanity?
