I read both this and Cutting for Stone this year and absolutely loved them both. Book 8 of my #12booksof2025.
I‘ve heard good things about this one. Link to listen:

pickThe story of a wilful racehorse sent to India in the days of the British Raj and of a wily nun who teaches a rich man about the blessings of generosity. Delightful!
pickReally good, but just really, really sad. A look at people in an impossible position. A tale of the haves and all of the have nots, the hopes and plans that never work out, and the situations that are unthinkable.
pickSpanning 7 days, this multiple POV book, chronicles the desperation of two people who struggle to live and provide for their families. It moves quickly through chaos, unfortunate chain of events that forces poor decisions, and the ties of family. Gut wrenching, and I loved it.
