The Tiger's Share ~ Keshava Guha
I love books set in India ... but not this one.
Overly flat descriptions of suburbs of Delhi that still did't bring it to life.
Characters that were written on paper but few had life breathed into them.
Plot had such good potential ... the privileged position of males in India clashing with the achievements of modern women ... but it backed away at the end with capitulation to the male ego.

Isola ~ Allegra Goodman
Based on a true story.
Took a while leading up to her being marooned and would have liked a similar section after her rescue.

Lessons in Chemistry ~ Bonnie Garmus
**** Liked it a lot, but would be mindful of who I recommended it to
Keeping the little woman in her place ... no ... turn a cooking show into an empowering lesson in chemistry

Olga Dies Dreaming ~ Xochitl Gonzalez
****
Not a pageturner, but keen to know what happened in the many subplots
Many subplots, well differentiated characters, great political background
