Pragya Agrawal

Pragya Agrawal, a landscape architect, took to building with words as a second craft at the behest of her mother. Born and raised in India, she was deeply influenced by the ancient stories and rich cultural heritage of her homeland. The Renunciation is her debut novel, illumining the quiet strength of Sita—the guiding force behind the Ramayana’s twists of fate—as seen through the eyes of a believer and a daydreamer. She lives in London with her husband, their two lovely children, and a head full of stories.
