“Let There Be Heroes”

Rajorshi Chakraborti (Shakti) and Rachel Kerr (Victory Park) talk to Mary McCallum about two critically acclaimed novels where ordinary people show humanity and quiet heroism in a world gone awry. In Shakti three Indian women find themselves wielding powers that match their wildest dreams and in Victory Park, a solo mum's life is turned upside down when a privileged neighbour moves into the council flats where she lives.
