A Best Book of 2022 in The New Yorker

Four lives, uniquely linked, in a story that journeys across continents and centuries…

For Shai, lost and drifting, a visit to her hometown in India’s Northeast offers the possibility of new ways of living.

For Evelyn, a Cambridge student, scientific inspiration guides her to the forests of the lower Himalayas and a world she has only read about.

For Johann, a German writer, travelling through Italy inspires him to develop ground-breaking ideas that will cement his place in history.

And for a young Swede, an unwavering curiosity for Earth’s natural wonders takes him on an expedition that will forever alter the way we understand the world around us.

A multi-layered literary saga bringing together people and places that seem, at first, far removed, Everything the Light Touches is a marvellous exploration of our ways of seeing, told through the eyes of four unexpectedly intertwined people.

Really enjoyed this book, especially Shai's story, which gave me a small glimpse of Meghalaya, a place known to me through family but not really known.
I also liked the writing style and narration, which I found easily accessible to a poor reader like me. :)

So proud of you
