A review by balletbookworm
Sleeping on Jupiter by Anuradha Roy

5.0

A deeply spiritual yet very stark novel about six people in a temple town (Jarmuli isn't actually a real place, but an amalgam of seaside towns full of religious pilgrims and tourists): three elderly women on a vacation/pilgrimage, a temple guide, a photographer, and a young woman using the guise of a location scouting trip to find the ashram where she lived as a child. Utterly spellbinding and heartbreaking.

TW for several scenes of sexual violence and child abuse (Roy based these scenes on legal cases)
