The book was shortlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize. "Burnt Sugar" is a story about love, misunderstanding and betrayal. But not between lovers, but between mother and daughter. Avni Doshi raises an acute and painful topic that is still partly taboo in society. The main characters are separated by years and completely different life experiences, but they are united by an unbreakable natural bond, which ultimately becomes destructive for them. Avni Doshi is a real cosmopolitan. An ethnic Indian, she was born in the US state of New Jersey, and now lives in Dubai. "Burnt Sugar" is her debut novel, which has been published in more than 20 countries and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. A film adaptation is planned based on the book.
