Hello, hello,
We are halfway through this week and barely 10 sleeps away from Christmas!
Wanted to share the books my sister and I are currently reading because they are really good and, also, they are by the same author- Manohar Malgonkar.
Both of these are historical fiction (from our perspective) and they were originally written in English as well.
These are the two books...
My sister is reading A Bend in the Ganges, which I have already read and really loved! It is based in the years between 1939 to 1947 and documents the lives of two friends/ peers/ college batchmates- one a revolutionary and the other a Gandhian- as they navigate Kala Paani and the rising communal tensions once released.
I am reading 'The Princes'. A really interesting book about a fictitious princely state in modern India, the impact of our independence on the princely state- them having to merge with the Republic of India. This is not a topic that is often written about in the context of our independence and so, makes for very interesting reading.
Hope your week has been good!
See you tomorrow with more of our annual Top 10/ Top 5 rankings of books!
