Meira Chand

Recipient of the 2023 Cultural Medallion, Singapore’s highest accolade for artistic achievement, Meira Chand lives between East and West, between a multiplicity of cultural identities. Her novels reflect her search for self and belonging. From England to Japan, India to Singapore, her life straddles the world. Her many novels, set against the backdrop of the diverse cultures she has lived in, mirror her journey to pin down the experience of these different cultures upon her, and her relationship to them. The search for home and the search for self are inexplicably entwined in her work.
