In 1947 and again in 1971, entire communities in the South Asian subcontinent crossed newly drawn borders, seeking new homes as partitions divided and reshaped nations. Kalyani Thakurs evocative novel tells the story of her people, Dalits of the Matua sect, who settled around a local water body Andhar Bil in a newly formed country. This new bil, reminiscent of the one left behind, becomes a place for the refugees to slowly, painfully, rebuild their lives.Children play in and around the bil, the novels central character, while people catch fish and cook them in ways that recall the flavours of home. Festivals and boat races unfold, jute is harvested and sold, floods push people to higher ground, marriages are arranged, and property disputes arise.

A New York Times Book Review Editors PickA riotously sharp novel about self-righteousness, control, and the unexpected afterlife of a dogRose Cutler prides herself on her principlesveganism, feminism, eco-consciousness, and general moral superiority. She runs a yogurt business she quietly despises and lives alone, comfortably distanced from the mess of human relationships. But, when her brother and sister-in-law let her watch her six-year-old nephew Nathan, things go spectacularly wrong. After Roses dog kills a corgi at the park, Nathan begins to bark, overeat, and claim that the dead dog has possessed his body. Rose assumes this is trauma. Nathan insists its metaphysical fact. As Rose embarks on a misguided quest to free Nathan from his canine passenger, what begins as an attempt at childcare devolves into a surreal, anarchic spiral of suburban chaos. Brimming with unhinged charm and moral ambiguity, The Hitch is a biting satire of the stories we tell ourselves to stay saneand the havoc we wreak when those stories fall apart.
