Shiromi Pinto

Plastic Emotions (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Plastic Emotions is inspired by the life of Minnette de Silva - a forgotten feminist icon and one of the most important figures of twentieth century architecture.

In a gripping and lyrical story, Shiromi Pinto paints a complex picture of de Silva, charting her affair with infamous Swiss modernist Le Corbusier and her efforts to build an independent Sri Lanka that slowly heads towards political and social turmoil.

Moving between London, Chandigarh, Colombo, Paris, and Kandy, Plastic Emotions explores the life of a young, trailblazing South Asian woman at a time of great turbulence across the globe.
