Standstill

 

In 2025 Sashi released her debut novel Standstill with Penguin Australia. 

 

Standstill is a memoir of reluctant self-discovery by a person forced towards a mirror kicking and screaming. It’s for anyone who’s lost their identity, relationship or place in the world and hesitated every step along the journey to get them back.

 

‘Brilliant, vulnerable and hilarious. Sashi Perera has given us a comedy, a tragedy, a memoir, a polemic and an instruction manual on self-forgiveness. I laughed and cried, often at the same time.’ SHANKARI CHANDRAN

 

'This book is chaos. This book is laughter and love. This book is a friend. Give it to someone who struggles, to someone you love, someone who needs to forgive themselves. Give it to you. I adored it.' FREDRIK BACKMAN
