Our book of the week is
A GUARDIAN AND A THIEF by Megha Majumdar. This follow-up
to her novel A Burning is set in near-future, dystopian Kolkata.
A GUARDIAN AND A THIEF is full of ethical dilemmas, flawed
characters and memorable food scenes - a good book club pick. It
has been long listed for the 2026
Women’s Prize for Fiction.
