About this listen

All she wanted was a mango. What she got was desire, death—and a goddess who never forgets.

In the slums of Bombay, eleven-year-old Shanti breaks every taboo to beg a dark goddess for a single gift. What follows is a miracle: sweetness where there was none, a body in place of payment, and a growing hunger that no fruit can satisfy.

As the city reels under an unusually hot pre-monsoon summer, Shanti’s prayers yield pleasures she never expected—love, power, a taste of something like freedom. But every blessing demands a balance. And beneath the cracked concrete of Ambedkar Chawl, something divine is stirring, restless and red-mouthed.

Ferocious, intimate, and laced with dread, Blood Mangoes is a coming-of-age story wrapped in caste horror, queer longing, and the terrible price of answered prayers.

Perfect for readers of Mariana Enriquez’s Our Share of Night, T. Kingfisher’s What Moves the Dead, and Sayaka Murata’s Earthlings.
