Many thanks Shantanu for this very perceptive and interesting review. I've not written much about India before and so to get a positive response like this is so gratifying. Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 may also be interested.

Delighted that Gill Hornby will join me on Sunday on The Scandal Mongers Podcast to talk about her latest - and brilliant - book and her continuing literary exploration of Jane Austen's family.

Feel very flattered that S. I. Rubinstein has given 1945 The Reckoning such a positive and interesting review - and pleased to be in the great company of Sam Dalrymple too!

Very flattered by this review of Shattered Lands - alongside Phil Craig 's new masterpiece - in @englesbergideas by S. I. Rubinstein
