The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing. Mira Jacob.

In Three Words: Unpretentious. Sharp. Gentle.

Why Should You Read It: If diaspora literature is your thing. Or if you have dealt with grief of losing someone close to illness that slowly eats away. It’s a simple book. A simple book which gives proper attention to all its characters, and develops a strong narrative for the readers to engage and care for the story.

Beyond the Book: The author is writing her second book—Good Talk: Conversations I Am Still Confused About—which is a graphic memoir, and something that I am extremely excited about. Read some excerpts here, to know why.

n. (Greek) the perfect, delicate, crucial moment; the fleeting g rightness of time and place that creates the opportune atmosphere for action, words or movement.

@vishasuchde. She has a special way with words, this woman. The stories she weaves are simple, but never simplistic. When you read them, you are overcome by a faint sense of familiarity, of thinking ‘this is something I could have written’, and of wishing that you’d written those words. And that’s the second-most beautiful part of Visha’s writing. (The first one being her writing itself.)

As ever,

With warmth and gratitude
