This month I welcome the new co-host for A Novel Read.

We will discuss "The Far Field". Hear my thoughts on the writing style, content, and answer the following book club questions:

• Although never explained, why do you think Shalini is so intent on finding Bashir Ahmed? What does he represent to Shalini? What was Ahmed's relationship with her mother… and, perhaps, with Shalini herself?
• What role does Shalini's privileged position play in how she behaves and reacts to life's events?
• Shalini's mother seems to suffer from mental illness: any thoughts as to a diagnosis? Talk about the way that she shaped Shalini's life? At what point does Shalini come to realize the impact her mother has had on her? How does that realization affect her?

Plus find out next month's book! Is it "Salvage the Bone", "Purple Hibiscus", or "My Sister the Serial Killer".
