  Pet By Catherine Chidgey

  Loading...

  With a unique plot about deception, manipulation and how power imbalance can be exploited, Pet brings suspense to play games with every reader's mind. Making the protagonist a 12 year old girl named Justine, this is primarily set in a school in 1984, New Zealand. She and her classmates are fascinated by their new glamourous teacher, Mrs. Price and wants to be her "pets" (chills). We come to find out that these are students that she picks for special tasks and encourage a divide between the girls. By making them rate each other's prettiness, weight and other things, there is a sense of unease in the classroom. When things start to go missing from students, the tension runs even higher. With parts showing racism, classism and other deeper parts of our society at the time and religion, this book is a great read and keeps you interested in what happens in the end. 

  The author of this book is going to be at the book fair for a chance to share more about her books and meet her fans.

  All the Lives We Never Lived By Anuradha Roy

  Loading...

  For those who love to read about a complex female character, the novel “All The Lives We Never Lived” brings justice to that notion. Readers would most likely be torn on what to make of a mother who left behind her family to chase her own dreams in a time where women in India were oppressed to a great extent. The story of Gayatri (the mother) is pieced together by her now older son who seems to have a complicated relation with his mother as she left him when he was younger. This book allows you to glance into the life of a woman who felt restricted and invisible within her family even though he had talent of great degree. 

  The book doesn’t judge Gayatri for what she did but allows you to see her circumstances and why made that difficult decision. It is a story about the complicated relationship between what women want and what society expects of them and also about the journey of making your own identity outside of your familial bonds, often a luxury for many women. 

  The author of this book, Anuradha Roy, will be at the book fair to interact with other authors and share their ideas to the eager audience.
