Remnants of a Separation: A History of the Partition of India through Material Memory By Aanchal Malhotra

What started as an academic project has eventually become a collective of shared memories for all those who have witnessed one of the darkest chapters in the history of the Indian subcontinent. Poignant. Thoughtful. Lucid. Emotional. Balanced. Historical. Personal. This nonfiction book has succeeded in evoking all these emotions from a reader and how.  Indeed,…

From Words To Views: Baby Reindeer

Technically speaking, Baby Reindeer is not based on a book; instead, it was written as a one-person show by its creator, Richard Gadd, as an autobiographical account. Now, Netflix has successfully adapted it as a limited series based on true events for the silver screen. Still, considering it was a written record of what happened…

The Promise By Damon Galgut

At the heart of this novel lies the history of South Africa. The story of the Swart family, which spread over a significant four-decade period, is intricately woven into the social, political, and cultural changes in their home country, providing a rich context to their narrative.

None of This is True By Lisa Jewell

Alix Summer meets Josie Fair in a gastropub on an otherwise ordinary day by mere coincidence, except that it is the day of their forty-fifth birthday. As their birthday guests can see, there is little commonality between Alix and Josie besides their shared birthdate. Alix is a popular podcaster who conceptualizes, produces, and hosts a…

The Ink Black Heart By Robert Galbraith

I am unashamedly guilty of being in awe of J.K. Rowling. This respectful admiration of being a long-standing fangirl is not only limited to her impressive lineup featuring Potter World but also her ventures into the mystery genre as Rober Galbraith. So, it’s only natural that I have followed the troublesome but triumphant journey of…

From Words To Views: Bridgerton (Season 3)

As someone who grew up watching saccharine, sweet romantic stories dished out by Bollywood year after year, and especially someone who grew up with the romantic comedies of the 1990s and early 2000s, the central plotline with many twists ‘and turns surrounding it in the Bridgerton world should not come as a surprise. But then…

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow By Gabrielle Zevin

Are you fond of online gaming? Do you take any interest in the world of video gaming? Are you also keen on understanding nuances of human relationships spanning multiple decades? Finally, do you dot on complicated confusing love stories? If you answer affirmatively to one or more of these questions then you have reached the…

The Night She Disappeared By Lisa Jewell

This book falls in the category of gradually increasing their allure with every flipped/ swiped page. On the surface though it seems to be another teenage romance story which is not heading in the expected direction of ‘and they lived happily ever after’ but there is much more nuance to it added skilfully by such…

The Making Of Another Motion Picture Masterpiece By Tom Hanks

When you have a powerhouse talent with an illustrious career writing about the movie making process; you ought to sit up and take note immediately.

Carrie Soto Is Back By Taylor Jenkins Reid

Carrie Soto is restless, ruthless, competitive and fiercely protective of her titles. She is a champion of tennis and would like to continue to be, no matter how. Fading into the sunset by retiring from tennis is seriously not her game. Not everyone expects her to be and definitely not her father- Javier Soto. It’s…

The Silent Patient By Alex Michaelides

What a gripping story this is!! On the surface, it’s a mystery about a woman who has committed an heinous crime and has neither accepted nor rejected her guilt as she has opted for silence. So what’s so special about this enigmatic killer that draws the readers into this masterfully crafted novel? Alicia Berenson is…

The Family Remains By Lisa Jewell

When you leave the original storyline on a pause, this is how the saga should unfold towards a satisfying ending. The first book closed on all sorts of cliffhangers, so it’s hard not to imagine how this sequel kicks off with the discovery of mysterious bag of bones. Where the first novel presents the background…

The Burnout By Sophie Kinsella

There are times when you need an endearing story to cheer you up and put you in good spirits. This is one such book and have read other books by this author, I am familiar of her writing style of putting difficult concepts with much simplicity. So, this is not my first book by this…
