Listen now!!!*** It’s possible to find home in the most unexpected places… Soon after upending her life to accompany her boyfriend Ryan to the Arctic, Maya realises it’s not all Northern Lights and husky sleigh rides. Instead, she’s facing sub-zero temperatures, 24-hour darkness, crippling anxiety – and a distant boyfriend as a result. In her loneliest moment, Maya opens her late mother’s recipe book and cooks Indian food for the first time. Through this, her confidence unexpectedly grows – she makes friends, secures a job as a chef, and life in the Arctic no longer freezes her with fear. But there’s a cost: the aromatic cuisine rekindles memories of her enigmatic mother and her childhood in Bangalore. Can Maya face the past and forge a future for herself in this new town? After all, there’s now high demand for a Curry Club in the Arctic, and just one person with the know-how to run it… A tender and uplifting story about family, community, and finding where you truly belong – guaranteed to warm your heart despite the icy setting!

She studied representations of islands in postcolonial and feminist fiction. Upon finishing her PhD, Dani spent two years living in India and working as a freelance travel writer. She has now returned to Norwich, and works as the editor for Great British Food (a wonderful job that allows her to read recipes all day). An absolutely unputdownable feel-good novel you need right now • Film & TV rights for The Arctic Curry Club have been snapped up by Palma Pictures, the production company behind smash hits such as Me Before You, The Crown and The Night Manager. • With its unusual setting and honest, nuanced characterisation, THE ARCTIC CURRY CLUB is a brilliant read that would also bring a fresh voice and perspective to the Avon list. • Funny, bittersweet and highly original, this is a powerful story about life, love, family and belonging – told with a real lightness of touch. • Maya’s battle with anxiety and her struggles to reconnect with a heritage that now feels foreign to her, as well as the trauma of losing a parent at such a young age, are things many readers will be able to relate to. • Authenticity: Dani, the author, spent two years living in Bangalore, and learning how to cook Indian food was her way of connecting with the culture and bonding with her Indian in-laws. She has also spent a lot of time in remote, icy environments such as Longyearbyen as part of her PhD research. Whilst visiting the world’s northernmost museum in Svalbard she noticed the extent to which polar narratives are defined by men – and THE ARCTIC CURRY CLUB is her attempt to change that! • Like Maya, Dani has anxiety, and has written this story to offer hope to other people who suffer with it; to show how difficult and rewarding it can be to follow your passions.
