The God of No Good by Sita Walker is a lyrical, funny intergenerational memoir that follows one woman’s search for love, belonging and a way to live honestly with (or without) faith. Shortlisted for the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards and winner of the People’s Choice Queensland Book of the Year, it’s the kind of book that stays with you for its wit, tenderness and sharp-eyed insight.
Raised by five formidable matriarchs in a Bahá’í household, Sita grows up on prayer, sacrifice, turmeric tea and the quiet power of women’s stories. At thirty-five, she’s drifted far from belief and from the idea of “true love” — but she’s still tethered to the women who made her.
Moving across Iran, India, Sri Lanka, Europe and Australia, this memoir is perfect for readers who love family stories, cultural identity, migration narratives and heartfelt contemporary Australian writing.
Step into Sita Walker’s world and see how love rewrites everything.
