This monthʻs Book Club pick is A Guardian And A Thief by Megha Majumdar. In a near-future Kolkata ravaged by climate change, Ma is doing her best to get her family out of town. With long-awaited visas in hand, they’re about to leave and join her husband in Michigan… until the passports are stolen. What now? Set over the course of one breathless week, Ma’s struggle intersects with those of the thief, Boomba, who is also just trying to take care of his family. Plenty of food for thought in this riveting new novel.
