What are the ingredients required for building a new world? Is it order, or chaos? Is it power or love? Is it simply bricks? How long will it take? And whose vision will it reflect -- the Queen's or the solitary visionary's? A fabulous new book from a writer whose work spans continents and worlds. In the world of Babel, time, power and the discipline of love come under scrutiny. Filled with characters from fairy tales and myth, Suniti Namjoshi follows the trials and tribulations of well-known sisters such as Little Red, Snow White, Crone Kronos, Queen Alice, Sister Solitude and Cinders.
