Happy publication day to Ruthvika Rao and The Fertile Earth! 📚🪷 A thrilling story of love and resistance about two young people born across social lines, set against a tumultuous political landscape in India Grab a copy now! tinyurl.com/bd7xtff5


I’ve just finished The Fertile Earth by Ruthvika Rao. Richness and privilege vs. servitude and duty explode as political uprisings sweep India. I was so invested in how all its threads came together even though I knew it was going to break my heart. Had a little sob at the end.


Streaming from tonight, 6.30pm Ruthvika Rao talks about her debut novel #TheFertileEarth with Aube Rey Lescure ‘An epic social novel that movingly weaves the political and personal.' Daily Mail ‘A gorgeous story of star-crossed lovers across the class divide.’ Historical Novel



'Rao’s illuminating tale of moral corruption and redemptive love is beautifully crafted... The Fertile Earth heralds a terrific new talent.' A terrific review of The Fertile Earth by Ruthvika Rao from Lucy Popescu in The Observer theguardian.com/books/2024/sep…

Wrote about Ruthvika Rao’s debut, The Fertile Earth for Guardian Books. It’s a beautiful love story and an extraordinary study of cruelty, bondage and power. A novel that will stay with me, perhaps forever. Oneworld Publications theguardian.com/books/2024/sep…
