Noor Anand Chawla Hi sure! I would love to. You can get in touch with me on nooranand@gmail.com

Stories from my own travels were uniquely my own, and I felt most adept at them.
To make the alphabetical challenge even more interesting, I decided to use alliterative titles for each. That's how "Tales From My Travel Treasury: An Alliterative Anthology" came about.(less)

The South by Tash Aw

The book is very easy to read. It moves fast. The plot keeps you engaged and the characters are well-etched. They are layered and their interactions are very relatably human. I don’t know much about this part of the world or the effects of climate ch ...more

Grisly History by Sandra Lawrence

Such a fun read! I don’t know if everything is completely accurately portrayed (the parts I was already familiar with like Guy Fawkes and the Mughals were scanty in information, though not inaccurate). But it was a nifty reminder of the cruelty meted ...more

I have to state at the outset, this is a well written, and well researched book. The interviews with people from different strata of society are very engaging. However, where this book loses majorly is on its over-analysis. Preachy and quite boring i ...more

This much-talked about book by a Pulitzer winner tracks the lives of Pakistan’s feudal societies from the 1960s to early 2000s. Its rich, evocative descriptions and well-etched characters show that the situation was very similar to what took place in ...more

Taiwan Travelogue by Yáng Shuāng-zǐ

This is a very interesting story. It uses a completely fictional non-fiction setting to create the illusion of being a historical book. But it’s so expertly emotional and layered, that the reader knows it to be fiction. Set in 1938 in Japanese-occupi ...more

The Hollow by Agatha Christie

This was such a fun read! It was different from other Poirot’s by Christie because it focused on extramarital affairs and how complicated human relationships can be. I’ve never read Christie’s “Mary Westmacott” novels but I imagine they would be as r ...more

The autobiography is a real and raw look at the writer’s family dynamics. She focuses on her parents and siblings and shows them quite honestly with all their many foibles. But she also clearly loves them. She writes that the book is an attempt at sa ...more

I’ve owned this book for a while but its heavy subject matter had deterred me from reading it, till I picked it up to fit an unusual reading prompt. I’m glad I did because despite its heavy subject matter, the book kept me hooked. Set in 19th century ...more

Everyone knows about Capt. Vikram Batra, the war hero from the 1999 Kargil war. But this book brings to life Vikram Batra, the person, as seen from his identical twin’s perspective. It’s an incredible story - twins, war, a love story, a charming hero ...more
