Our Book of the Week is a feminist metaphysical thriller, a story shaped within a political pressure cooker. Shakti, by Wellington author Rajorshi Chakraborti, will shake you up, mystify you and make you laugh, as well as frighten you with its clear reflection of our current socio-political structures and our willingness to accept or dismiss these intrusions into our minds, as well as our hearts.
