Books I've read and enjoyed recently

This section includes both fiction and nonfiction books. The two books by J G Farrel describe the fall of the British Empire, in Ireland after WWI and in India before 1890. There are also two books on fishing (fly fishing) and one on writing that I recommend.

See interview with author Shobhan Bantwal

Don't miss the new interview with the author of The Forbidden Daughter and The Dowry Bride at Nearly Nothing but Novels- the blog.
