I would like to thank this book for giving me something else to think about this week. Turns out going into lockdown requires a whole lot of preparation (new router for work, filling Dads freezer, planning activities for kids) and like many of you I struggled to sleep this week, let alone read. But this book about two generations of a Punjabi family running a corner shop in England was just right. Interesting enough to keep me ⬇️
Centique ...engaged without getting too tense or dark. (Although it does have a moment) The cover makes it look like a romance - it isn‘t. It‘s a generational tale - more about the relationship between grown children and their parents all rooted in the core experience of owning the shop. We flip between Arjan in 2010 and Surinder in 1969 not really understanding their connection beyond the store until later on. Very enjoyable 🌟🌟🌟🌟 5y
GingerAntics This book sounds REALLY interesting. 5y
Centique @GingerAntics it was! And Arjan has some really sarcastic moments along the way which made me smile. 👍 5y

Cinfhen Sounds like a great distraction 💕Hope #HisElderliness is alright and you‘re all adjusting xx 5y
GingerAntics Oh I love some good sarcasm!!! 5y
Centique @Cinfhen we‘re good thanks Cindy. #hiselderliness is happy as long as he has books and food. Our supermarket has a process for prioritising the over 70s so he‘s getting that and I‘m disinfecting a bunch of books to leave on his doorstep 👍 (edited) 5y
Reggie Sounds great! 5y
batsy Yes, lockdown is a lot more work in quite a number of ways! It's strange to me that it's being "marketed" as leisure time but that's the crazy world we live in, I guess. Hope you're mostly settled and your dad is doing OK ? 5y
