Nikita Lalwani‘s literary novel about prisons, personal morality and the manipulative techniques of documentary film-makers has some interesting ideas but hinges on a main character who is simply too naive and weak to be believable or one who I could empathise with. At the same time, I was uncomfortable with how two-dimensional the Indian characters all are - including Nandini - while the open ending felt like a tacked on cop-out.

#booksandcoffee Reading this book is like being inside a sensory kaleidoscope. 😀 Happy Friday!

Each one is better than the last. I appreciate learning the culture of Zoroastrians. There is so much I don't know.

Another great mystery set in pre-independent India. Another great learning experience.

Oof. This is a tough one… all about how personal ambition can lead people to do the wrong thing for someone else; how easy it is to push someone down for your own gain. It‘s a powerful debut, maybe not quite as strong in the second act… but lots of promise. Looking forward to book group - both of my library groups are reading this one this year!

This was a surprisingly enjoyable read. It had me on the edge of my seat. It had so much romance and adventure. I couldn‘t put it down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
