The Book of Everlasting Things by Aanchal Malhotra
Since I'm playing catch up, highlighting my favorites.... you guessed it. Another five star read. Another beautifully cultural, generational family drama. One that I must admit, despite having a whole bunch of education, I learned a lot about world history from. I learned a lot about the art of making perfume. And I simply grew to love the characters and their story. If I'm absolutely honest, I didn't want this book to end. It was a rich, engrossing, beautiful cultural experience that I won't soon forget. This is an amazing debut work of fiction by Ms. Malhotra and I will definitely be keeping an eye on her for more.
