Minor Disturbances at Grand Life Apartments by Hema Sukumar
Rate this book
Clear rating
Very atmospheric and character-driven novel where readers are invited to immerse themselves into the colours, tastes and sounds of Chennai, South India.
Having said that, the narrative was a little too slow-paced for my taste and it didn’t help matte

A brilliantly written family saga by Sanam Mahloudji about Iranian women from different generations. What I love the most about this novel is the distinct voices of the characters / narrators that come through very strongly. There is a human touch to ...more

The Evin Prison Bakers' Club by Sepideh Gholian
Rate this book
Clear rating
An important book that sheds insight into life in women’s prison in Iran, straight from the mouth of a brave young woman doing time herself.
Having said that, the book verges on a form of surrealism and poeticism that makes it pretty hard to follow.

The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
Rate this book
Clear rating
A far cry from ‘The Shadow of the Wind’, whose story was far more layered, gripping and beautiful. But still can’t deny how well-written all Zafón’s novels are and how masterful his storytelling is. Like in the previous book, what stands out most in ...more

A Travelling Woman by John Wain

Short and readable and kind of funny at first, but as you go on reading, couldn’t help but grow frustrated at how pointless the story felt. Though admittedly the last few pages does do something for female choice / empowerment for its era, but for me ...more
