I wrote about THE LAST KNOT by Shabir A. Mir for The New Indian Express. Embedded in Kashmiri folklore and myths, this novella is beautiful! #booktwt #book Pan Macmillan India #BookRecommendation newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/book…

It is in its slow, lulling and lyrical prose you find yourself almost somnambulating. Such is Kawabata’s writing. My first of his and I loved it. #books #booktwt The Nobel Prize Penguin India Penguin Classics

“My mother read a lot, sighed a lot, and went to bed early..” This is how this heartbreaking book of a failed marriage begins. Prose like no other. Not one word feels out of place. Brookner makes you experience too many things at once. #books #booktwt #BookTwitter

They don’t write such books anymore, do they!? Devastated, torn, and riddled with way too emotions after reading this one. Better late than never. 💔 #books #booktwt #BookTwitter

I read and wrote about Anne Serre’s A LEOPARD-SKIN HAT, trans. By Mark H. Moving, sad, and yet so full of life, this was such a beautiful nomination for the The Booker Prizes 2025! Can’t wait for the results today. (Review link in bio) #books #booktwt #bookreviews

I wrote about Govil’s Hot Water for Deccan Herald. It’s one of those books you can’t stop reading. I talk about secrecy and family and voices that makes the novel what it is. #booktwt #book Deccan Herald Rashmi Vasudeva deccanherald.com/amp/story/feat…

“She shut her eyes for an instant, and repeated: 'I am entirely yours’, so low that he scarcely heard her. It seemed to her the most solemn moment of her life.” One of my favourite writers ❤️

There’s something about Lively that wins me over with every book of hers. If you still haven’t read any Lively, this could be a good place to start. #booktwt #BookTwitter

A murder mystery_love story set in Madrid. Marías was one of the rare writers to have brought that together so well. A very splendid rainy day read. #booktwt #book

There are few writers as great as Bowen. To me, Bowen remains that one author, who, very silently is etched on to my heart. She leaves an impact I can scarcely account for. #booktwt #book #bowen Vintage Books

Sad to hear of his passing but what a legacy to have left behind with his works on Calcutta and its Municipal History which I have read religiously! #RajatKantaRay #history #presidencyuniversity telegraphindia.com/amp/my-kolkata…

One of the best(if not the best) novels on being a writer and the publishing world; set in the 1890s England. Gissing is so underrated and an undiscovered gem. #booktwt #book

I love books set in Bombay. I will always remember the heartening peace with which he represented a place like Taj where a youth has been lost, and time regained. Proustian, truly. #books #book Amit Chaudhuri #Mumbai

"Wise and moving, this novel is as much about time as it is about a woman's life, and the story is full of sharp observations and humour" - Rahul Singh reviews Three Days in June by Three Days in June hindustantimes.com/books/review-t…
