In recognition of Queen Elizabeth’s death, Book Club decided to go with the theme of Independence Day: books from authors from countries that gained independence during or close to Queen Elizabeth’s reign. Choosing to honor India, we selected the book The Shadow Lines by Amitav Ghosh, a brilliant and evocative story following the lives of two families, one English, one Indian, and the way their lives interact “in comic and tragic ways.” Very excited to delve into this exploration of identity and memory. 🇮🇳🇬🇧📖✨
