Do you like to read nail-biting thrillers that keep you on the edge? Read excerpts from Nita Prose’s The Maid and Lucy Foley’s The Paris Apartment, two books that have taken over the world of crime readers with a storm! The Maid Molly the maid is all alone in the world. A nobody. She’s used to being invisible in her job at the Regency Grand Hotel, plumping pillows and wiping away the grime, dust and secrets of the guests passing through. She’s just a maid — why should anyone take notice? But Molly is thrown into the spotlight when she discovers an infamous guest, Mr Black, very dead in his bed. This isn’t a mess that can be easily cleaned up. And as Molly becomes embroiled in the hunt for the truth, following the clues whispering in the hallways of the Regency Grand, she discovers a power she never knew was there. She’s just a maid — but what can she see that others overlook? Escapist, charming and introducing a truly original heroine, The Maid is a story about how the truth isn’t always black and white — it’s found in the dirtier, grey areas in between. . .

“Slavery still exists…” | Read an Excerpt from “Azad Nagar” — HarperCollins Publishers India

In a Rashomon-like retelling — a complex, constantly changing narrative of a murder that captures better than any sanitized account just why it is that slavery continues to exist in the 21st century, Laura T. Murphy narrates a gritty and inspiring real-life account in Azad Nagar. Azad Nagar’s enormous struggle to gain and maintain liberty shows why it is unrealistic to expect radical change without violent protest — and how a global construction boom is deepening and broadening the alienation of impoverished people around the world.

Unlearning the Misconceptions of Religious Identifiers | Excerpts from Books on Hijab — HarperCollins Publishers India

What does it mean to be Muslim in India? What does it mean to look like one’s religion? Does one’s faith determine how one is perceived? Is there a secular ideal one is supposed to live up to? Can people of different faiths have a shared culture, a shared identity? Unfortunately, the contemporary political reality of India has become increasingly polarized; often at the cost of invisibilizing its rich history of syncretic cultural identities. At HarperBroadcast, we are spotlighting three books every thinking Indian should read, in order to understand about individual freedom in a purportedly democratic nation, and the place of minorities in a majoritarian state.
