One thing I found fascinating in 'The Palace of Illusions' was the way time and fate were explored. We'd love to get more questions from you before Nov 30th. DM here or email worldbookclub@bbc.co.uk and join us on the show :)

I just finished Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's "The Last Queen". I've loved the author's books for years and now wonder if this book or 'Independence' is my favorite - probably this. Great hist.fiction of Maharani Jind Kaur dilip.info/books #ChitraBanerjeeDivakaruni [was suppose to be sent yesterday]

Here's a gallery of my pictures and video clips from the event and dinner afterwards: photos.dilip.info/Events/20250... #ChitraBanerjeeDivakaruni

How lovely meeting/chatting/hearing #ChitraBanerjeeDivakaruni eloquently discuss
her work (mdrtd by Kailas Thakker & @iseebrownpeople.bsky.social) its context,
women,&my question re:how it seems in several stories prtgnsts carefully consider
dreams then act. Thanks to kiraninc.org for critical work!

Oops - here is #chitraBanerjeeDivakaruni reading from ‘Independence’.

Here is Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni reading from my favorite work of hers, ‘Independence’, spellbinding historical fiction of 3 sisters from Bengal swept up by the trauma and triumph of India’s independence. #India #ChitraBanerjeeDivakaruni

I just passed out level 3 tests after a review of variables, division, &measurement, our 3rd quarter topics, & hope all will enjoy it. In the meantime I’m loving a book by one of my favorite authors-I’ll get to see her at an event this wknd! #ChitraBanerjeeDivakaruni #iteachmath #mtbos #indiaFiction
