Dani Redd: Arctic Curry Club (2021, HarperCollins Publishers Limited) No rating

Soon after upending her life to accompany her boyfriend Ryan to the Arctic, Maya realises …

The Arctic Curry Club is the story of Anglo-Indian Maya, who has left her life in England to follow her boyfriend Ryan to the Arctic. Ryan is a scientist studying wildlife, but Maya struggles to adapt to the dark and the cold.

As she explores her Indian heritage, Maya starts to remember snippets of her childhood, family secrets long forgotten.

Everything falls apart, but with the help of some wonderful new friends, Maya begins to make a life for herself.

It’s a quick read, with engaging characters, and some unexpected twists at the end. With lots of Arctic atmosphere and the evocative descriptions of Indian food (the author has personal experience of both), this is a rewarding feelgood story in an unusual setting.
