Stylist’s books editor Francesca Brown selects November’s best 11 books you need to read.
“<In English to cook something up means to prepare food, but also to invent stories or schemes, to concoct something out of fantasy.> Be My Guest is a nourishing celebration of global culture and creeds (Basil’s family would regularly host ‘kitty parties’ in which Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs would each bring dishes to eat together) and the meaning of sharing food with friends, family and beyond. It’s also a thoughtful reflection on where we’re at in a world where migrants are demonised and where some people have everything and other people have nothing. Written with poetry and heart, Basil manages to unite huge themes that affect us all while capturing the beauty of sharing." Comments are closed.
