My recent reading...

Heaven by Susi Rajah

...or The Gospel According to Sydney Welles, the title under which it is published in the US.

This was a very clever twist on the traditional chick-lit and has a lot more depth than many of the genre. It was also very entertaining with a plot that really hooked me in.

The Many Conditions of Love by Farahad Zama

This is basically a romantic comedy set in India with a cast largely of the wealthy middle and upper-classes; consequently, you might think that this would be a book that would not deal with heavy issues. Not so!
The topics of India's still-high mortality rate, failing harvests, genetic modification of crops, mixed-religion marriages and poor pay for those in the lower strata are dealt with sensitively and in an interesting way.

This is the second book of the series, but the first that I had read.  I enjoyed it very much and will seek out the others.

In many ways, it is quite similar in theme, but not style, to Alexander McCall-Smith's No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, set in Botswana, which I also enjoy a great deal.
