Novels we’re loving at the moment: FALL Edition

This fall, there is a bit of hangover from the last escape edition, where there is quite a bit of crime-solving, some apothecary magic and a hint of special powers to make life feel livable!


Maia – a novel
By Tanya Jain

Where do I start? A story of a young girl who struggles with real problems that we have all faced at some point in our lives. A story that touches upon the relatable uncomfortable themes that surround us, and perhaps may make you either question yourself, or give you a reality check. I read this in less than two days, because each page was gripping and hopeful.

I have laughed in constant amusement whilst reading about Vera – reminding me of my own mother – motivated, sure, practical, realistic, never mincing a word! Written delightfully with delicious descriptions of traditional Chinese meals and you’ll be wanting to create your own tea bar!
