Song of the Sun God spans three continents and three generations of a family that remains dedicated to its homeland, whilst learning to embrace its new home.įunny, warm and tender, we see Nala and Rajan's family navigate war, migration, old loyalties and new beginnings, relying on the philosophy of their religion, their ancestors and each other.

She is the author of three books: Song of the Sun God (republished by Ultimo Press, 2022), Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens (Ultimo Press, 2022) and The. Song of the Sun God by Shankari Chandran 34. As the country descends into a bloody civil war, Nala and Rajan must decide which path is best for their family and live with the consequences of their mistakes.

Arranged in marriage, they learn to love each other and protect their growing family, against the backdrop of increasing ethnic tension.
