It’s on that very strongly impressed me, but I don’t have a clear view on why that was, and for that reason is one I want to consider rereading. The Hungry Tide study guide contains a biography of Amitav Ghosh, literature essays, quiz questions, major themes, characters, and a full summary and analysis. However, as with several books I’ve read for my course this term, I feel that reading at the pace necessitated in some ways hindered my full appreciation of the book. There are a lot of incredibly well-drawn characters here – even those who only feature briefly are very tangibly created. This novel takes place in the Sundarbans, and focuses on the arrival there of Piya Roy, an American with Indian heritage, and Kanai Dutt, a business visiting family following a death. Yet there are other books I got into much more easily which in the end, I liked less. Kanai liked to think that he had the true connoisseur’s ability to both praise and appraise women, and he was intrigued by the way she held herself, by. This book is one that took me a while to get into – the prose is thick with description and lyrical to read, the backstories are complex and intricate. There was no bindi on her forehead and her arms were free of bangles and bracelets, but on one of her ears was a silver stud, glinting brightly against the sun-deepened darkness of her skin. My schedule has gone a little wonky this week, but I’m trying to get back on track.įirst impressions are important, but odd.

The most obvious update is Hana’s interest in podcasting and auditory forms of storytelling, but there’s also the setting of Toronto’s Golden Crescent neighborhood, which is home to a thriving Muslim community. The bones of the Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks film are there, trading bookstores for halal food, but Jalaluddin launches this story into the 21st century. With Hana Khan, Jalaluddin turns to rom-com classic You’ve Got Mail for inspiration. Jalaluddin’s debut novel, Ayesha at Last, was a Pride & Prejudice-inspired journey to romance and self-fulfillment. What she doesn’t know is that very same listener is Aydin Shah, who runs the competing halal eatery that is jeopardizing the Khan family business. As it slowly gains a following, Hana starts an adorable online back and forth with a dedicated listener. Her only outlet is Ana’s Brown Girl Rambles, a podcast that Hana launched anonymously and views as a diary of sorts. Hana Khan has plenty to worry about: her mother’s casual halal restaurant is in dire financial straits, and the Khan household has been turned upside down by the arrival of her aunt and cousin. In Uzma Jalaluddin’s sophomore novel, Hana Khan Carries On, a Muslim woman tries to keep her family’s halal business afloat while finding comfort in creating her own anonymous podcast. Now Tristia is on the verge of collapse and the barbarians are sniffing at the borders.

There are wild people, and terrible monsters, and a girl called Cat. He keeps them from his family, even his Aunt Rose, his closest friend, until the day he finds himself in the Other Place. In the woods-once thought safe and well-explored-there are wolves and other, stranger things. Michael Fay is a normal boy, living with his grandparents on their family farm in rural Ireland.

The Evolution of Mara Dyer is book two in the Mara Dyer series. I enjoyed it the whole way through, though the sweet vibes turned a little sedate at times they kept talking about all of their physical chemistry, and I just didn’t see it. I loved the hero, in particular, who feels an instant connection to the heroine, but resists it every step of the way – though he doesn’t stand a chance against several meddling community members and one irresistibly adorable heroine. It’s closed door (with a decent amount of swearing), which just added to the all-around charming and lighthearted feel. Throw in plenty of small town charm, a fish out of water romance, and several troublemaking community members, and there’s a lot to love about this easygoing romance.
