AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Tiniest House of Time covers the sacking of Anwar Ibrahim in 1998 and the consequent riots, and also a lost history of an unknown exodus of Indians from Burma to India when Rangoon was bombed by the Japanese in 1941. Told from the point of view of two young women of their time, it touches on what we let go, and how, when we face death.'

— Review of The Tiniest House of Time Sreedhevi Iyer , 2020 single work novel

'Sreedhevi Iyer’s The Tiniest House of Time is a book for our time, examining as it does the profound silences that a family lives with, silences embedded in a history of displacement, and the uprooting from what was considered home. In tracking hidden and unspoken histories, of which there is little written record, the author has written something of a psychoanalytically focused and politically acute narrative, as she explores through her finely structured novel, an evocation of generational trauma across migratory continental space. With much sensitivity and intelligence, Iyer delineates the colonial legacy of race relations, and how this legacy weighs down on those societies still navigating them.' (Introduction)
