Now this is a treat! Get ready for a fun, frank and fascinating conversation with the great Balli Kaur Jaswal!

Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows was picked by Reese Witherspoon for her book club, Sugarbread was a finalist for the Epigram Books Fiction Prize and the 2018 Singapore Literature Prize and her new novel Now You See Us has just been released to international acclaim. We talked to her about formative reading adventures in Russia, Japan, Singapore and the Philippines, stories of female solidarity, the book that made her want to build worlds and the unfortunate consequences of starting your own detective club. Find out about Daisy's Limelight book tour on her Instagram page @TheDaisyBee.

Welcome to You’re Booked, the podcast for literary nosy parkers who would like the chance to snoop around their favourite authors’ bookshelves.I’m Daisy Buchanan, your Book Inspector, and I’ll be asking our guests all about the first forbidden books they read under the covers, the beloved books they have borrowed, and never given back, and those impressive heavyweight hardbacks that make them look like intellectual giants – even though they couldn’t get beyond the first twenty pages.We’ll also be talking about what makes readers into writers, how our guests became book lovers and their favourite reading memories, all with a dash of intelligence and a dollop of irreverence. Our guests include Dolly Alderton, Nina Stibbe, Nikesh Shukla, and many more favourites from our own bookshelves. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
