Elated for the opportunity to work on a another blistering new novel of KR Meera - Jezebel, which takes the form of a courtroom drama to show us the rich inner worlds of its characters. Jezebel, a young doctor in Kerala, struggles against the cruel realities of a patriarchal world-realities that not even her education, resolve or professional brilliance can shield her from. Through her memories, we see her grow from a reticent, serious young woman to a rebel who refuses to bend to the conventions of society. It’s been a massive privilege to illustrate the covers for 6 novels of KR Meera. Thankyou @penguinrandomhouse and @kr.meera for the this unique opportunity. #story #illustration #bookcover #courtroom #drama #novel #india #story #society #gender #sexuality #woman #conventions #rebel #penguin #bookcover https://www.instagram.com/p/CiFSyLtJUSg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
