We're delighted to announce that our third anthology 'Tongues and Bellies' has been published! 

These stories play with lies and truth. Chameleon-like characters clutch at worlds that remain just out of reach. An old recipe, a robot, a key – these are clues to the people they once were or hope to be. Appetite and eating are often central in this collection as characters remember childhood meals, a mother’s cooking, meals with lovers and meals that turn out not as expected. Their appetite for food, as for life, is by turns bitter and sweet but never predictable.

‘Rich, incisive and at times magical, this is a collection to be savoured and cherished. A joy from start to finish.’
– Awais Khan, author of No Honour

'Tongues and Bellies' can be purchased at Linen Press.

The Whole Kahani members: Reshma Ruia, Nadia Kabir Barb, Mona Dash and Shibani Lal held a lively discussion about being BAME and writing beyond and across a label, as part of the Stay-at-Home! Festival. 
Do have a listen.
