Heart Lamp: Winner of the 2025 International Booker Prize

In Heart Lamp, Banu Mushtaq exquisitely captures the everyday lives of women and girls in Muslim communities in southern India. Praised for their dry and gentle humour, these portraits of family and community tensions have garnered both censure from conservative quarters as well India's most prestigious literary awards.

In romanul ,,Lampa inimii", Banu Mushtaq surprinde cu maiestrie viata de zi cu zi a femeilor si fetelor din comunitatile musulmane din sudul Indiei. Laudate pentru umorul lor sec si bland, aceste portrete ale tensiunilor familiale si comunitare au atras atat critici din partea comunitatilor conservatoare, cat si cele mai prestigioase premii literare din India.
