5 The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
Arundhati Roy’s debut novel took the world by storm. We loved the rich narrative, packed with beautiful prose, though at times it felt a bit dense for those looking for a quick read.

This Booker Prize winner had us turning pages with its dark humor and clever twists. However, the controversial ending wasn’t for everyone.

We picked this book because it has a gripping tale of survival and love. It carries the emotional depth and vivid storytelling we loved in ‘Shuggie Bain’.

Rushdie at his finest, blending history with fantasy. The book is heavy and demands attention, but it rewards those who persevere.

The best of the bunch, Ishiguro’s tale of a butler reflecting on his life is touching and thought-provoking. We found it both heart-wrenching and beautifully written, making it our top pick.
