I had not previously read any of Vandana Singh's work, and in a way, I'm glad I didn't know anything about the stories, it made the process of discovery that much sweeter. So that you can you enjoy that feeling for yourself, I don't really want to tell you much about this short story collection, but I will say it is strongly influenced by Dr. Singh's passions both academic and personal, and the stories are set in modern India. The majority of the stories have fascinating, complex women as their main characters, and two of the stories have older or elderly men as their main characters. Both of these are refreshing changes from the usual "strong brave man" who tends to show up in specfic and scifi. The fantastic elements in the stories are not introduced with a wink or fanfare, they simply ARE, and that's the soul of the beauty in this collection. The stories do not rely on trickery or flash to draw you in. Instead, they capture you with compelling characters, finely sketched domestic settings, and the magical set amongst the everyday.I often rip through short story collections like eating a box of junior mints at the movies, but this collection demanded my attention in a quiet, powerful way and I read the stories one at a time or in groups of two. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ love, dreams *by T***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2016* This may be 5 yet it was so out of my comfort zone that it was difficult to limit my judgment to a simple number. I have not read much speculative fiction. Honestly, I did not know that it was a sub-genre of literature. These stories are quite myth-like in feel. Myths for the adult reader. As the author states"... there is still a strong undercurrent of writhing that questions and subverts dominant paradigms and persists in asking uncomfortable questions" thus the emergence of speculative fiction, a blending of fantasy and science fiction. Within these strange stories, we see the the familiar topics of self, love, dreams, rage,struggle, and family. Again, in the author's words: "Reality is such a complex beast that in order to begin to comprehend it we need something larger than realist ficton. I would suggest that if you have never read speculative fiction, this would be a wonderful introduction. It is somehow strangely compelling and wonderful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Singh's writing is fantastic *by J***B on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2016* Singh's writing is fantastic. She's inventive, intimate, and dexterous as she interweaves personal inner worlds of emotion with a cosmic mythos and scientific mystery. If you enjoy the short stories of Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, and Edgar Allen Poe, or the intricate world-building of Neal Stevenson and Brandon Sanderson, or the underlying mythos in Roberto Calasso and José Saramago—in short, if you enjoy fantastical experiments that manage to both leave behind the constraints of our daily existence while being utterly relevant and relatable to said existence, then you'll enjoy this collection. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13257958-the-woman-who-thought-she-was-a-planet-and-other](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13257958-the-woman-who-thought-she-was-a-planet-and-other) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
