East of the Sun - Julia Gregson
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Lovely middle weight summer read. If you are looking for something other than the usual trashy "chick-lit" for summer but nothing too heavy, this is a good choice. Full of "gentle" depth and characters, lovely interesting and interweaving plots with very believable scenarios, this is a great read. Set in the 1920s, it follows the story of 3 women going to India. All going for different reasons and expectations, none prepared for what is ahead.
