Heat and Dust by
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala . Set in colonial India during the 1920s, Heat and Dust tells the story of a beautiful British woman suffocated by the propriety and social constraints of her position as the wife of an important English civil servant. Longing for passion and independence, she is drawn into the spell of the Nawab, an Indian prince involved in criminal plots. A profound and powerful novel, winner of the Booker Prize.
Still I have not prepared a mood to read some serious stuff on archaeology kept pending in my TBR, so I am taking another cozy mystery for now,
