About this ebook:
A 49th Shelf Reads 2024 Book of the YearLonglisted for the 2025 Giller PrizeAlberta Fiction Award Finalist 2025Alberta Short Story Collection Award Winner 2026A beautifully written short story collection that charts the lives of racialized women as they navigate their relationships, aspirations, and the burdens of memory and expectationsThis collection of finely wrought short stories explores the often invisible lives of racialized women as they walk through their days, navigating mundane microaggressions, trying on ill-fitting roles, and managing emotions they never allow others to see. There is the wife who uses the name of her white husband in public. There is the mother who cleans the small-town hospital while her daughter moves to the city and suppresses their shared past. There is the teen girl who obeys her parents even as she watches her rebellious older sister slip further and further away. Each of these characters is both familiar and singular, reminding us of women we have been, of our mothers and daughters, neighbors and adversaries.“To be a contemporary racialized woman is to be noticed but also invisible, and Bhadresa deftly explores these paradoxical spaces. A gorgeously observed collection by a wonderfully gifted writer.” — Lindsay Wong, author of The Woo-Woo and Tell Me Pleasant Things about Immortality: Stories“Each of these stories is a small miracle, and I can’t wait to see where Bhadresa’s own star catapults from here.” — Amy Jones, author of Pebble & Dove and Every Little Piece of Me“In stories that can encompass a novel’s worth of time and events, Kirti Bhadresa melds style and sincerity with her focused craft. With vivid insight into labour, family and different forms of exile, Bhadresa finds light in the imperfect, real lives of her characters.” — Naben Ruthnum, author of Helpmeet“Sharply observed and gracefully told, Bhadresa offers a collection shining with all the unexpected delights and defeats that make up a life.” — Anuja Varghese, author of Chrysalis“From rebellious teens to a levitating aunty, An Astonishment of Stars brings us unforgettable characters in stories ranging from the everyday to the fantastical. A great talent and a great read.” — Naheed Nenshi, former mayor of Calgary“In all of her stories, Bhadresa addresses race brilliantly and incisively. A must read.” — Danila Botha, author of Things That Cause Inappropriate Happiness“Overall, An Astonishment of Stars is a compelling collection of short stories which can be enjoyed by young adult audiences and beyond. Bhadresa’s book is a great read for ethnic minorities to realize they are not alone in their experiences and for everyone else to realize the complexities of racial and cultural identities in a country as diverse as Canada.” — The Gateway“Roveena Gnanabakthan’s narration magnifies the poignant and multifaceted stories of BIPOC women who are navigating the tensions of identity, community, and family ... The narration underscores the themes of resilience and invisibility, drawing attention to lives often overlooked while illuminating the complex intersections of contemporary womanhood and community.” — AudioFile Magazine“In these tightly coiled and exquisitely rendered short stories, Bhadresa invites readers into the lives of ordinary characters and tilts and twists the lens just-so, in order that the truth and beauty of their lives is refracted in startling and compelling new ways ... In short, a Bhadresa short story will either make you laugh or make you cry, and frequently it will do both. An Astonishment of Stars is a deeply nuanced, intelligent new voice in the Canlit landscape that tells stories about our struggle to contemporaneously belong and to break free — or, as I imagine Bhadresa might explain it, she simply sows stories about how we branch forward gloriously once we’ve rooted ourselves strongly.” — Salma Hussain for The t?mz Review

Not entirely to my refined tastes. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. Perfectly average.

Excellent, though slightly flawed. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. A very distinguished novel.
