Daisy Hasan grew up in Shillong in North-East India. She has held many prestigious fellowships which have allowed her to research and write about the cultures of this region academically. She holds a Ph.D from Swansea University in the UK. She is currently engaged in a study of South Asian women’s art in conflict situations. The To-Let House captures tells the story of the coming of age of Di, Lee, Kule and Addy. The tale unfolds in the city of Shillong, in the north east – one of India’s most troubled areas. As the four children emerge into adolescence, framed by the region’s violent search for identity, their inner and outer worlds hold uncanny mirrors to each other.
