It’s like having a PT in the room putting your fitness world to rights. She’s friendly, informative and full of energy — with professional acting skills that contribute to a polished delivery. I just did a HIIT workout after finishing the book and I’m about to have a smoothie for breakfast. I think Oonagh would approve. And I got some interesting takeouts about forming habits and choosing happiness over pleasure. Listen to this book — it might change your life, or your waistline.

Kerry Shale’s colourful narration brings even peripheral characters to life in Aravind Adiga’s Booker prize winner about the perpetual hopelessness of corruption in India. First published around 2007/8, it seems topical in my August 2020 book club as Lebanon crumbles under the weight of corruption.

Our Indian book clubber tells us this rags-to-riches tale is a fair reflection of Indian society and that young educated Indians don’t want to live in that corrupt society or become politicians themselves in order to make a change. There’s a phrase she uses, which translates: “Why muddy your hands when you’re cleaning your house.”

If decent successful Indians continue to relocate to countries they can trust, eventually what will remain? Only the poor, the corrupt and the coerced?
