Sonia Faruqi
Sonia Faruqi is the author of The Oyster Thief (2018). When a mermaid and human man meet, they are forced to overcome their intrinsic enmity to embark on a quest into the depths of the sea for a legendary elixir made of starlight. The Oyster Thief is a high-concept, high-stakes novel featuring drama and danger as well as a twists-and-turns love story.
Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper (made into a 2009 feature film), says in her endorsement of the book: "Sonia Faruqi had me at the word 'mermaid.' The Oyster Thief creates a lush, imaginary underwater world that somehow manages to reinforce the reality of the need for environmental awareness-it's unlike anything I've ever read."
Sonia Faruqi is also the author of Project Animal Farm (2015), a critically acclaimed work of investigative journalism about the food industry. The book was endorsed by Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee, Temple Grandin (the subject of a 2010 film), and CEO of Whole Foods John Mackey.
