Burnt Sugar

Burnt Sugar explores a toxic, entangled relationship between a daughter and her manipulative mother in India. Avni Doshi’s writing is sharp, unsettling, and psychologically precise. As the mother’s memory begins to fail, old resentments surface in disturbing ways. The novel interrogates motherhood, inheritance, and the desire for autonomy. Its narrator is unreliable, forcing readers to question truth and cruelty. It is a dark, compulsive read that lingers uneasily.
