Books by Sangamithra Iyer
A beautifully rendered debut memoir of family, legacy, conservation, the natural world—and those who inhabit it.
As a civil engineer, Sangamithra Iyer knows about resilience from studying soils and water. As an animal rights activist, she advocates for a revolution in how we value and relate to other species. And as the child of immigrants from India, she searches for submerged histories.
