The To-Let House

Daisy Hasan's The To-Let House unfolds in the city of Shillong, in the North-East - one of India's most troubled regions. It captures the pulse of memory unerringly, as it tells the story of Di, Clemmie, Kulay and Addy. Framed by the region's violent search for identity, their inner and outer worlds hold uncanny mirrors to each other.

Daisy Hasan conjures up a world that is darkly unsettling, yet curiously effervescent.
