Literary Rockstar: Suchandra Roychowdhury wins The Stambh Global Literary Award

Meet Suchandra Roychowdhury - a talented writer whose words have touched hearts and minds. Suchandra’s journey is a testament to the power of passion and creativity. With the prestigious The Stambh Global Literary Award by Cherry Book Awards in hand, we explore the inspiring story behind the success and impact of their award-winning work.

Incorrigible bibliophile, travel enthusiast and art aficionado, Suchandra lives with her husband and son in Bayshore, Singapore.  Suchandra has been a student of English Literature and obtained the degree of Master of Arts from Presidency College, Calcutta and pursued MPhil in the University of Calcutta.

“The Shotgun Wedding” is her first attempt in essaying a novel, inhabited by characters caught in an outlandish satire in a remote village in West Bengal, India. The bizarre socio-political dynamics unfolding between a newly appointed young lecturer hailing from cosmopolitan Calcutta and the inhabitants of rural Bengal make way for a rather comic narrative, interspersed with romance and mistaken identities. Currently, her debut novel is on the Best Seller List of Aleph Book Company, as well as being shortlisted Women AutHer Awards 2023 by the Times of India Group.

You will find The Shotgun Wedding quite easily on Amazon.
