Dramatisation of Rohinton Mistry's acclaimed novel about India's underclass.  Two tailors - uncle and nephew, Ishvar and Om - come to the city to escape from the caste violence in their native village. They are employed by a Parsi woman, Dina Dalal who runs a sweatshop from her apartment and is struggling to preserve her independence. She has a lodger too, a reluctant student, Maneck, from the mountains.  As their initial suspicion of each other turns to friendship and then love, their lives take dramatic and often shocking turns against a backdrop of India in crisis, during “the Emergency” of the mid-1970s, a period marked by huge political unrest and human rights violations.  A comedy, a tragedy, a story of the triumph of the human spirit under inhuman conditions.

Hello Get Booked ladies! I’m requesting for my mom, as her birthday is coming up in January. She is already burning through the books I curated for her for Christmas (The Silent Patient & The Turn of the Key). She loves mystery, crime, action, suspense books. She’d like books that are, “less psychological thriller-y, more murder-y”. I’ve been trying to find stand-alone books or the start of a series because she can never remember where she left off and too often says “I think I’ve read this one?”. Examples of what she likes: Prey books by John Sandford, Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich, authors Ruth Ware, Clive Cussler, James Patterson, Paula Hawkins, John Grisham, Mary Higgins Clark, etc. – as seen on the Goodreads account I’ve created for her goodreads.com/wendykozimor. *No home invasions, no horror Please help me find more murder-y books for my Mom (lol). Thanks!

Today I talk to my funny, keep it real dear friend Ada Ibe Offurum. Ada is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. She is also the founder of the Common Ground Network. Common Ground is a 50 – 60 women strong network of women in the DC, Maryland Virginia Area formed in 2005. The network was formed with the premise that everyone needs a community to learn, laugh, share and make friendships. It was designed to be a natural network for mentorship questions and career guidance in a safe space. We had a very fun and relaxed chat about the strong emphasis placed on academic excellence growing up, the progress she has made immersing her children in Igbo and Nigerian culture, extroversion vs. introversion and the goals for Common Ground in the future. Quite the reading maven, we also talk about her favorite books, what she would say to her younger self, being a nerd, what's next on a personal and spiritual level and keeping it real. Ada recommended the following books: 1. A fine balance - Rohinton Mistry 2. Say you are one of them - Uwem Akpan 3. Purple Hibiscus – Chimamanda Adichie 4. The Space between us - Thrity Umrigar 5.

Trish and Jess identify books they will own but will never read, sometimes because they have squishy hearts and sometimes because they hate history. Trish knows someone who gotten broken up with because they read "Ulysses" too much,  Jess is unsympathetic to suddenly blinded charachters because Daredevil is so badass, and a talking dog scolds other dogs all while assessing this month's book, "Blindness." Next month: "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry. (Musical Credit: I can see clearly now by Johnny Nash)
