I'm doing a new thing this month: one-line reviews and a rating out of five. It's definitely an artistic challenge and not at all due to tiredness/laziness.
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
A classic that holds up. 4/5
Home Fire
Kamila Shamsie
This made me uncomfortable in the best way. 4/5
Crazy Rich Asians
Kevin Kwong
Detailed, witty and fun - even better than the movie. 4/5
Interpreter of Maladies
Jhumpa Lahiri
I am so sad to no longer be reading this book. 5/5
Woman World
Aminder Dhaliwal
Hilarious glimpses into a man-less world. 5/5
The River
Peter Heller
A gorgeous adventure story with a sinister undercurrent. 5/5
Family Trust
Kathy Wang
Meh. 2.5/5
Feel Free
Zadie Smith
Insightful and searingly intelligent - Zadie at her best. 5/5
Books that didn't make the photo:
Celebration of Discipline
Richard Foster
An enormously helpful, convicting introduction to the spiritual disciplines. 5/5
The Story of Antigone
Ali Smith
The story of Antigone for children (and adults with a limited ability to grasp Greek tragedies). 4/5
