‘Fluid, layered, gorgeous. The Last Dragoners of Bowbazar is a feast for your soul and senses that will make you yearn for home, and other strange places.’ — Samit Basu, novelist, filmmaker and columnist

‘The fantastical hums amidst the everyday, weaving myth and memory with the quest for being and belonging. The Last Dragoners of Bowbazar is a dream-like coming-of-age story that sings with quiet wonder, resonating within your heart long after you turn the last page. Luminous and lyrical, this is storytelling as enchantment.’ — Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Arthur C. Clarke Award-shortlisted author of The Ten Percent Thief and Interstellar MegaChef

‘The Last Dragoners of Bowbazar is a love story to growing up weird, haunted by distant skies only your ancestors have ever seen, obsessed by the unimaginably vast cosmic structures and ancient beasts that for most of us lie hidden and half-forgotten behind the grand and mysterious magical workings that we call childhood and coming of age. Let this book remind you of the dragons you’ve forgotten.’ — Vajra Chandrasekera, author of Rakesfall
