SUMMARY:The Reading Village: February
DESCRIPTION:February’s Reading Village selection is a beefy one – Kiran Desai’s The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny\, described by the organisers as “sprawling\, layered\, and unapologetically thick” and shortlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize.  Meet at the excellent Batliwala & Co “for an evening of big thoughts\, shared pages\, and honest reactions over food and drinks”. \nThe Reading Village format is basic: one book a month chosen by poll\, and a free-to-attend gathering. To be there\, DM via Instagram or email hello@purvagrover.com.
