if you are looking for fluffy and deep, head straight to Moni Mohsin's Butterfly, goer of kitty parties in Lahore, who will chatter to you about her husband Janoo and her kid. Thus entertained you will also see long and deep into the socio-political scape - loved book 1 the best of all- books 2 and 3 seemed repetitive.

The Little Women trope of 4 sisters is back. Last year was Ann Napolitano's Hello World, which I loved.This year's favourite seems to be Blue Sisters. I found it dark and disturbing. Four sisters and full of addiction, drugs and dysfunction. Also death.

Plus the style of storytelling is long winded reportage in heavy handed prose - yes a little like this sentence ! Not my kind of book.

A brilliant exploration of the badlands of Haryana in India, murder, an apathetic policeman, the encroaching city overrunning a village with the push of political power, the invasion of city police. The kind of book that makes you want you to explore the authors's backlist. Which i did - and was delighted.
