The Butchering Art (2017)
Another reviewer said of Dr. Fitzharris' work that its one failure was its accessible style. As far as I am concerned, that is only a fault in a work if its author wants to keep it out of the eyes, hands, and minds of the general public. Like some of the best historians and investigative journalists of decades gone by, Dr. Fitzharris approaches her subject with an open candor, accepting him warts and all, and laying out his life as it happened, her only agenda being the service of history.

This book will make every reader grateful for the medicine of the modern age and will make you pause as you remember the lives of those passed before us who made the accomplishments from which we benefit possible.

Interesting, a little repetitive
I wasn't sure what to expect with this bizarrely named novel, and I was slightly worried it would be some Karma Sutra style book but it was nothing of the kind.

A group of old Punjabi women attend an English language class run by a British Asian young woman who mistakenly brings in an erotic book one day. It opens up a world of sensuous pleasure for the women, who are normally quite conservative about such topics.

While it's quite a novelty and funny at the beginning, the stories become repetitive and it becomes a little boring. The honour crime story was far more interesting and I wish there was more focus on that side instead of turning it in to a Gurinder Chadha type of novel. The stories are meant to open up other aspects of the community such as arranged marriages and the impact of honour - but it just doesn't seem to connect that well.

The protagonist Nicky is great though who reflects many British Asians growing up with dual cultures. Good but not great.
