I’m excited to have found you. I’m catching up with the reading and hope to join you on Thursday.
Enjoying this book a lot. The story of India’s struggle for independence combined with a murder mystery makes for a nice way to learn about the history. When I was in school we didn’t learn this side of history, so it is a great example of “underrepresented voices” I think. If you remember the movie “Gandhi” there is overlap. I’m hoping to make the discussion, but I’m afraid I may have a conflict. I think this was possibly the best choice of books that we have read so far.
not sure when you started or anticipate finishing, but curious to try next book. i feel i would be too late to join this read.
Hi Deborah,
I just signed up for the Book Club. I looked thru the entire feed and couldn’t find the answer to the question. It looks fun, but though there was mention of the vote, and she said she had posted the result, I just couldn’t find it. Did you get an answer to your question and a description of the process (i.e., vote the ? day of the ? week and post the result the ? day of the ? week?
Thank you,
Enid

Really enjoyed this story! And the author’s writing style! The history, personalities and plot all plausible and easy to picture. Good pick!
Thank you so much, Ann! So happy you enjoyed it and hope you are able to make our zoom discussion next Thursday at 4:30PM EDT.
Ignore previous wire !! My alumni book club in actually on a different book. I switched up the chapter timetables for both. No wonder it wasn’t matching up. The devil is in the details … enjoying this one for sure. Especially the insights about the culture and British – India relationships. And the policemen are really interesting characters.
Hello Everyone! I am new to senior planet and the book club. I just got the book and am still at chapter 10. I will finish it by meeting time. I LOVE it! How witty and how much info about that historic period in India! Great choice, thank you!
