I highly recommend THE MAGNIFICENT RUINS by Nayantara Roy to anyone who likes messy heroines with messy families. An unexpected inheritance sends Lila back to her family in India, where life is immediately complicated by secrets both past and present. Emotional, immersive. #ewgc

Nothing gives me more pleasure than to find books by Indian authors or those of Indian descent.
Good to see Black River by @nilanjanaroy in @chaptersindigo the largest Canadian national book store.
Kudos to @yanta for the success of her maiden novel The Magnificent Ruins.
“Now I’ve a new writer to shout about: Nilanjana Roy’s Black River (Pushkin Vertigo) takes place in the small village of Teetarpur, just outside Delhi. “There is nothing Teetarpur is famous for,” writes @nilanjanaroy .” @alisonflood theguardian.com/books/2023/j…
