![]() When I was younger, my weekly trip to the library was so crucial in instilling within me a love of and respect for books. Libraries are vital for communities – they are safe spaces for many, they’re places to connect with others. I really wanted to write a novel that celebrated stories, and libraries. And when she meets Mukesh, she realises the books on the list might help him too… It’s a book about family, loss and love – but especially stories, and ways they help us both escape and look at our own lives with a fresh perspective. Aleisha discovers a reading list left in a library book and, as she starts to read, the books transport her away from the painful realities she’s facing at home. The Reading List is the story of an unlikely friendship between a widower, Mukesh, who is trying to connect with his bookworm granddaughter, and a teenager, Aleisha, who is working in the library for the summer. ![]() Sara kindly answered a few of my questions.ġ. ![]() Sara Nisha Adams debut novel, The Reading List, is published by Harper Collins on 22 July 2021. ![]()
