The Olive Reader


"From that time on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonley again, never miss the lack of intimate friends. Books became her friends and there was one for every mood..."

Betty Smith said that

  • About the author EB

People have been saying some nice things about our books lately. Thanks, people!

What Have You Changed Your Mind About?: Newsweek called it “fascinating,” and the Toronto Star said it “drive[s] home the lesson that in science being wrong occasionally is a good thing, not least because it renews curiosity and reminds the scientists that they don’t know everything.”

Family Planning: The Seattle Times said that “Mahajan packs this hyperbolic blast of a novel with scathing reflections on government corruption, poisonous Hindu-Muslim relations and Indian TV-soap-opera obsessions . . . you feel you’re getting the purest essence of the subcontinent . . . you’re in Delhi, sweating the heat and fighting the frustrations.”
