This powerful speculative short story by Shiv Ramdas is set against the backdrop of the British colonial rule in Bengal, India. The plot revolves around a woman named Apa, a doll-maker, who uses her craft to retaliate against the oppressive regime after they snuff out her family and village in a horrifying man-made famine. The story is a potent blend of history and magical realism, providing a scathing critique of colonialism wrapped in an intriguing narrative.
