Non-Fiction
The 2025 International Booker Prize Winner, Heart Lamp by Banu Mushtaq (ISBN: 9781916751163, paperback), takes us further afield, to the girls and women in Muslim communities in southern India. Exposing the fault lines of caste, class and religion, family and community, the stories bite deep: vivid, surprising and human.
