There are many many books set in Cambridge, but nearly all of them are nothing to do with my Cambridge, because they are all about the university. The rest of the city is just backdrop. The university us splendid and lovely and I enjoyed my time at it, but the city is more than just that. So I love The Cambridge Curry Club, Saumya Balsari, because it tells of the everyday city I live in now. It's odd living in a famous place. Everyone knows it and has ideas of it. It's hard to know, sometimes, whether what I see here is real at all.
