Ruta Sepetys, Varsha Shah and David Farrier

This week we'll be considering some of the less savoury consequences of human civilization: 

Ruta Sepetys takes us behind the Iron Curtain and back to Ceausescu’s Romania, in her gripping new novel 'I Must Betray You'.

We visit the slums of modern day India through the pages of Varsha Shah’s dazzling debut 'Ajay and the Mumbai Sun'.  

David Farrier  considers how the items that we discard will inform on us for generations to come in 'Footprints'. 

And we return to Varsha Shah for the Books of Your Life.
