Ten Incarnations of Rebellion

A Novel

De: Vaishnavi Patel

Narrado por: Mayuri Bhandari

From the New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi comes an epic and daring novel that imagines an alternate version of 1960s India that was never liberated from the British, and a young woman’s struggle to change the tides of history.

“This is the kind of fiction we need more of.”—R. F. Kuang, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel

Kalki Divekar grows up a daughter of Kingston—a city the British built on the ashes of Bombay. The older generation, including her father, have been lost to the brutal hunt for rebels. Young men are drafted to fight wars they will never return from. And the people of her city are more interested in fighting one another than facing their true oppressors.

When tragedy strikes close to home, Kalki begins to play a dangerous game with small acts of resistance, tempered by cautious, level-headed Yashu and fortified by Fauzia, whose dreams of the future awaken Kalki’s heart. Together, they found Kingston’s new independence movement, obtaining jobs working for the British while secretly planning to destroy the empire from the inside out. But one wrong move means certain death, and when facing threats from all quarters, Kalki must decide whether it’s more important to be a hero or to survive.

Set over the course of a decade and told as ten moments from Kalki’s life that mirror the Dashavatara, the ten avatars of Vishnu, Ten Incarnations of Rebellion is a sweeping, deeply felt speculative novel of empowerment, friendship, self-determination, and the true meaning of freedom.

Impressive

Another impressive book by this author! It’s absolutely worth a listen. Great audio narration as well.

Another Great Book from a Great Author

This is the third book by Baishnavi and the third one I’ve read, and it’s such a good book(as are the other two, please read or listen to them) and once again the narration is perfect. I can’t wait for Vaishnavi’s next book and will definitely be buying it on release once again no matter the topic
