The Weight Loss Club by Devapriya Roy

4.0

Simple, entertaining and gripping. It doesn't have a weak, cliched plot like many other books by contemporary Indian authors, the language, though simple isn't simplistic. And the colourful characters, the attention to the tiniest of details, frequent references to the various localities, language and cuisine of Calcutta is what makes this book an enjoyable read. Not to mention the description of the Puja itself, without which a book based in Calcutta and written by a Bengali author would have been incomplete.
