WEATHER BY JENNY OFFILL
Suggested by Elizabeth Flock
“My recommendation for a great summer read is “Weather” by Jenny Offill, which has recently released. It’s a book about the end of the world, via the climate and political crisis in America. But it’s also funny, emotional, and totally relatable for anyone concerned about the state of things, anywhere in the world. Offill tells the story in quick, clever fragments, so it’s also very readable, whether you’re on the train, in bed, or at the beach. I’m about to read it a second time.”
LIPSTICK BY VISH DHAMIJA
Suggested by Seema Anand
I am an absolute sucker for old fashioned crime detective fiction. And if it stars a strong, sexy, brilliant female as the lead detective - I’m completely hooked. DCP Rita Ferreira, heading up the crime branch at Mumbai’s Crawford Market Police HQ, outmanoeuvring bad guys and stopping the world in its tracks with her fabulousness, is the perfect ice cold drink for a hot summer evening. Light, witty, extremely well researched - a must read.
THE HEART ASKS PLEASURE FIRST BY KARUNA EZARA PARIKH
Suggested by Aanchal Malhotra
This book will be out in May. Poignant and topical, Karuna Parikh's debut novel obfuscates the boundaries of land and religion. Set in an age of growing xenophobia, it is a book that offers us the frailties of love, and the power of empathy. Parikh's gift of language draws the reader in from the first sentence.
