Ryhaan Shah


Born
Berbice, Guyana

Ryhaan Shah is an Indo-Guyanese writer born in Berbice, Guyana. She is active in Guyanese public life as the President of the Guyanese Indian Heritage Association.

Her first novel, A Silent Life (Peepal Tree, 2005), which won the 2007 Guyana Prize for Literature First Book Award, combines strong social themes in the context of memories of twentieth-century Guyanese history from the point of view of Muslim women of South Asian extraction, with a narrative that explores mythic patterns through elements of the other-worldly. Her second novel, Weaving Water (Cutting Edge Press, 2013), deals with Guyanese history in a comparable way but from a Hindu point of view and with a more chronological treatment.
