Lisa Ray Instagram – What a lovely post to wake up to by @zebatalk a young author I much admire. I’m halfway through her debut book #MyPastisaForeignCountry and taken with the clarity and force of her story telling. There’s a tendency, perhaps, to perceive one author complimenting another as a sort of polite, diplomatic ritual- the echo chamber of utterances: this is not that. Frankly I only ever post honest impressions of books and authors that have moved me, shaken me, enthralled me or even polarised me. Honest engagement with words is my lifeline. Repost from @zebatalk using @RepostRegramApp – Went for a long walk around Kensington with @lisaraniray’s CLOSE TO THE BONE. I’m amazed by the matter of fact clarity and strength in Lisa’s retelling. Her sense of adventure is contagious and her perspective oh so sharp. My heart caught in my throat as events of chapter 4 unfolded. I’m looking forward to the week ahead because it will be filled with Lisa’s voice and thoughts. • Walked past a store named Maharani when i was listening to the bit about Lisa’s middle name and what that meant to her. 💛 Thank you @ezarawrites for recommending this brilliant book. • #audible #audiobookstagram #bookstagram #london #walking #calm #nowlistening #bestoftheday #sunday #weekendvibes #lisaray #indianauthors #authorsofinstagram
