Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens WINNER OF THE MILES FRANKLIN LITERARY AWARD

'Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens is a lyrical, stirring, accomplished exploration of the trauma we carry, the secrets we keep, the histories we harbour, and the family we find. Chandran's characters are so vividly drawn you can sense them sitting across the table long after you've closed the covers. Deftly traversing time, culture and continent to weave a tale of both home and unbelonging, this is truly a novel not to be missed.' Maxine Beneba Clarke, author of Foreign Soil and The Hate Race
