"Anarkali": About the story
Annie Zaidi and Mandy Ord have taken this well-known story in India, and re-imagined a future outcome for Anarkali that involves her finding a powerful way to transform and escape, rather than suffering a fate that was beyond her control. From the place within walls she finds a way to freedom to live the life she wanted. This story was originally published in Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean, an intercontinental collection of speculative stories published by Allen and Unwin.
