Just ticking another book off my read my own shelf challenge. Still plenty to go...
This novel is messing with the "normal" idea of a novel. And then messing with the bits that mess with the idea...
I really like the posts where people tick the picture of the book in the stack. So here is a stack of my books that I want to read by March. Check out the lovely house bookend that my mum made me 😍
"Just because this is a novel set in rural India, do not expect a herd of buffalo to walk across every page for the sake of authenticity. Eager mothers who hold salt and dried red chillies and circle their hands over your head before asking you to spit into their palms three times to trick spirits of the evil eye into abandoning you have been held back at my behest because I do not want to lose you to nostalgia or exotica."
