"Desirable Daughters" by Bharati Mukherjee
This was available at the right time as a bookclub set so picked it up for our bookclub without having read it myself. I felt her collection of short stories "The Middleman & other Stories" was quite good so thought it would be worth a try. Quite disappointing really. "Light summer reading" is probably the best thing you can say about it. I don't think she had a clear idea about what she wanted to do and didn't take the time to craft it.
"C'est La Vie" by Suzy Gershman
Written by an American woman journalist who decides to spend a year in Paris after being newly widowed and ends up living in France permanently. Worth a skim through.
"The Fifth Woman" by Henning Mankell
Just read one other novel by this Swedish mystery writer. They tend to be rather procedural police stories without a lot of suspense but do keep your interest and make for good summer reading.
