«Dérive des âmes et des continents» is the literary fiction novel by Shubhangi Swarup, published by Métailié in paperback (372 pages, in French).
The novel follows two newlyweds who settle in an old colonial house in the Andaman Islands: a scientist fascinated by volcanoes and a woman who talks to trees and ghosts. Their story intersects with eccentric characters (revolutionaries, a yeti, a geologist) along a seismic fault between the Indian Ocean and the Himalayas.
Originally published in 2018 as Latitudes of Longing, it was nominated for the JCB Prize. The French edition, in the Suites collection, came out in May 2022.
Ideal for readers of literary fiction and magical realism, with choral narratives, eccentric characters, and a supernatural nature in India.
