Mansions of the Moon

Shyam Selvadurai with Ameena Hussein

IN CONVERSATION

Shyam Selvadurai’s latest novel is the richly woven tale of Yasodhara, wife of Siddhartha Gautama – the man who became known as the Buddha. Set in 6th-century B.C. India, this is a fascinating reimagining of an unusual marriage, and of the life of an exceptional woman, penned by a masterful writer. Fellow writer and publisher Ameena Hussein leads the conversation.
