About this Event

Hi Folks!

I'm bringing my first book publication to Edinburgh, and this will be the first in the series of international launches of the best-selling and multiple-prize-winning Indian novel, "Swallowing the Sun".

It has now also been signed up for a multi-film series!

So why Edinburgh to initiate the international launch?

With the free trade agreement between the UK and India, to revive Scotland's now-forgotten links which shaped both countries so deeply and profoundly - though people in both countries seem to have largely forgotten that.

What better than a terrific novel to try to accomplish that kind of a revival?

My publisher's webpage for the book is https://pipparannbooks.com/book/swallowing-the-sun/

But, to buy the book, please do so through the distributor: https://www.scriptbooks.co.uk/product/58170/swallowing-the-sun

Questions, and requests for interviews, photos, etc please email John Oakes, on johnloakes [DOT]oakes {AT} gmail (DOT)com or ring 07791 248 509.

Admission to the event is free but is ONLY by pre-registration as seats are limited. Please contact Mrs Sai Dodda on saidodda (AT) gmail {DOT} com 07894 703697

Cheers!

Prabhu
