Lies and Other Love Languages by Sonali Dev

Posted
How far would you go to help your BEST friend? 

This is an emotional and boundary-pushing story of Vandy and her best friend Rani. How decisions made when they were younger now affects Vandy's daughter Mallika and thoroughly shakes her to the core.

Set in the US and India, it's rich on Indian culture, expectations and norms - all skilfully crafted into a compelling and hard-to-put-down story. It's like peeling an onion layer by layer, as we step by step get more and more information about what happened almost 30 years ago.

I loved the life lessons shared in the voice of Vardy, the strong independence shown by Mallika and the sacrifices made by Rani. Sonalu Dev has created a beautiful story, led by three strong women, and with supporting acts from the many aunts, uncles, and other family members preparing for two large Indian weddings.

Things don't always go to plan and they soon realise that there is some attraction that is hard to resist between them.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
