New on my shelves

The Forgotten Daughter by Anirudh Joshi (author review copy)

In the rain-slick alleys of Kamathipura, truth is a luxury few can afford.

When Meher disappears, the city shrugs—but one man refuses to forget. Vishy, a solitary book seller with a past he won’t speak of, begins a quiet rebellion against apathy. As he searches for Meher, the shadows grow darker, and the cost of remembering becomes unbearable. 

The Forgotten Daughter is a story of grit, grief, and the fragile hope that someone, somewhere, still cares.

What I’m currently reading

I’m reading The Assassin of Verona from my TBR pile, The Matchbox Girl from my NetGalley shelf and I’m listening to the audiobook of Swan Song.
