Tara was born in Madras (now Chennai), Tamil Nadu, India. She is an Indian American author. Tara studied pharmacology at the University of Madras, India and graduated with a degree in biochemistry from Stony Brook University, New York State (Stony Brook is located on Long Island). Her debut novel The Godavari met with critical acclaim and became a literary sensation. Tara's second novel The Krishna will be published by Penguin Random House International on March 15 2018. The writer's personal site tara-v-shanbhag.com offers her fans access to her articles, blog posts and more through email subscriptions.. In an interview with Mid-Day she says that her favorite reads are "The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself by David Foster Wallace, The Bell Jar, Of Mice and Men and All the King's Men." She is a self-confessed bookworm and a huge fan of Jane Austen. The Godavari is a novel by Tara V. Shanbhag. It was published in the United States in October 2005 by HarperCollins Publishers. In India, it was released on April 30, 2006 in 5 languages: Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and English. It is the first novel from Tara V. Shanbhag. The novel is about the life of Macharla, an extremely shy and solitary girl growing up in a Brahmin family on the Godavari River in Andhra Pradesh, India. Macharla is best friends with Krishna, who first introduces her to the world of love and romance, but then becomes Macharla's first love interest. He asks her to marry him; but she doesn't want to marry him, because she wishes to remain single all her life. She is obsessed with death, believing that one day bodies will decompose, so she tries to resist any relationship with another person for this reason. The novel takes place in the 1950s. Macharla is about sixteen years old when the story begins, and she ends up having to take care of her younger sister Kannamma, who becomes mentally retarded after accidentally ingesting an insecticide. Over the course of thirty-three years there is a lot of change: Krishna and his family move away and Macharla dies. The themes in this novel are social injustice, family relationships and friendship, love and romance; this is a book about human emotion and how it plays an important role in our lives. The author's writing style is simple yet very powerful; all her main characters end up with traumatic childhood experiences that affect their lives forever. Tara has won the following awards: Publisher's Weekly wrote that "Shanbhag's spare, layered prose and its sense of the tragic reveal a writer wholly in control of her craft. Shanbhag paints a haunting portrait of a woman who can't let go of the past and whose own stubbornness and inability to connect with others bring about her eventual, lonely death." And Kirkus Reviews says that "A profound debut novel; both tender and heart-rending, it will speak to anyone who has ever been touched by grief." And CHARLES TAYLOR wrote that "It is difficult to find words for this beautiful book. cfa1e77820
