Reading Lorenzo Searches for the Meaning of Life (Speaking Tiger) by Upamanyu Chatterjee almost feels like watching a movie. There is a sense of calm that envelops you throughout this book, and by the time you finish, you are left with an unshakeable urge to set out in search for the meaning of life, much like Lorenzo himself.  It comes as little surprise then that Lorenzo Searches for the Meaning of Life recently won the JCB Prize for Literature 2024, one of India’s most prestigious literary awards. 

The book begins in Italy, but it’s in far away Khulna where the protagonist finds love, falling for his headmistress, who happens to be an ex-nun. An understated tale of love, identity and belonging, this is just the kind of book you need to immerse yourself in for some much-needed warmth this winter!
