A compelling fable of traditions and women's power, from an award-winning indigenous writer. Drawing on ancient tribal tales from Nagaland, northern India, Spirit Nights is the UK debut for a multi award-winning writer. An ancient prophecy is fulfilled when darkness envelops a number of villages for days on end. The only thing they know is that a terrible taboo has been violated in the spirit world. Only by crossing the borders between the natural world and the spirit world, and acting with wisdom and courage, can they get the light back. Who will dare to do that? AUTHOR: Dr Easterine Kire, poet, short story writer and novelist, was born in Kohima, Nagaland, a state in Northeast India.
