Description

Heart Lamp by Banu Mushtaq (winner of the 2025 International Booker Prize)

Available for $2.99 on Kindle

In the twelve stories of Heart Lamp, Banu Mushtaq exquisitely captures the everyday lives of women and girls in Muslim communities in Southern India.

We will read only stories:  1 to  7 from Stone Slabs for Shaista Mahal to High- Heeled Shoe.

Not only will we have a lot to talk about within the book, but also what is going on with women’s rights in America.

A note from Cathleen Mills: Sign up and then send a message to [email protected]. This will be a reading support email for all of us if we have questions or comments as we read and I can email you with ideas and check in with you about your reading. This makes reading longer novels helpful and keeps us connected between meetings. Reading like this is fun and Brain Food. If you have more questions about the book club before you sign up email me.
