FROM THE AUTHOR OF ONE SMALL VOICE
Vivaan, a teenager in India's silicon plateau, has discovered love on his smartphone. Intoxicating, boundary-breaking love. His parents know he is gay, and their support is something Vivaan can count on, but they don't know what exactly their son gets up to in the online world.
For his uncle, born thirty years earlier, things were very different. Mambro's life changed forever when he fell for a male classmate at a time, and in a country, where the persecution of gay people was rife under a colonial-era law criminalising homosexuality.
And before that was Mambro's uncle Sukumar, a young man hopelessly in love with another young man, but forced by social taboos to keep their relationship a secret at all costs. Sukumar would never live the life he yearned for, but his story would ignite and inspire his nephew and grand-nephew after him.
Sweeping across decades and genres, Deviants tells the story of a family in which three generations of gay men fight for love and dignity against the currents of their times. Bold and bracing, intimate and heartbreaking, it examines the histories we inherit and the legacies we leave behind.
