I consider our Connection with Others to be one of the Heartspoken Life’s four essential connections, but the way we connect with others in our individual lives can vary so much depending on our age, physical condition, circumstances, and personality. Here’s what was written on these reading lists: Copies of this reading list have been mysteriously found by several others in the community, and their shared reading experience-reflecting the magic, wisdom, and lessons derived from each book-brings them together in the community library in a beautiful way as they all experience the power of reading to expand the mind and the heart. She decides to read the books on the list, and when Mukesh shows up and asks for reading recommendations, she shares the list with him too. But when he finds one of Naina’s library books and remembers her love of reading, he decides to venture out to the neighborhood library, setting in motion an adventure that gives him a new purpose in life and connects him with the troubled librarian, Aleisha, along with several other library patrons.Īleisha has just discovered a reading list of eight books tucked into the back of one of the library books she was putting away. His grown daughters are hovering over him and treating him like a child. He is lonely and tends to be reclusive, unlike his warm, outgoing wife Naina. Each chapter featured the perspective of a single character, and they used several narrators to give voice to the very different characters in the book.Įlderly widower Mukesh Patel is not thriving after his wife’s death from cancer. I read the print book, but I can imagine it would be wonderful on Audible.

The author’s parents are Indian and English, so she renders the Indian characters and the London setting beautifully. Published in 2021, this book was a lovely, heartwarming story that all book lovers will enjoy and appreciate-an outstanding debut novel.
