We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. This is a story that is absolutely rammed full of Indian terms, especially for clothes, food and religion. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.

Her love life is permanently casual, she's grieving for her dad, and if her mother and the aunties don't stop asking her when she's going to settle down and start having babies, she might just lose it. After discovering love letters addressed to her late grandad – by a woman who isn’t her grandmother – Baby decides to venture to India to uncover family secrets. I think it really ramped up from about [age] 25, but when you hit 30 it’s like, bloody hell, what’s going on? This story of a second-generation British Indian woman up north is also a tale of tenacity and a life lived with positivity and humour. These adverts enable local businesses to get in front of their target audience – the local community.I was drawn to the book by its vibrant striking cover and was expecting a fairly generic romcom but ‘Baby Does A Runner’ was so much more, a beautifully heartfelt and personal tale that covers family, both those that are close and those on the other side of the world, your ancestors and their experiences and how that resonates in you, wrapped up with trying to find out who you are and what your place is in the world. I loved bringing Baby to life and creating the sort of character I’ve always looked for in books but never found. It might not be my religion but I appreciate parts of it and despite being so busy there is this calm to the temple and the pool that surrounds it!

Oh, and if her mother and the aunties don't stop asking her when she's going to settle down and start having babies, Baby might just lose it. She is a lead presenter on Countryfile, hosts Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4 every week and regularly presents on Radio 2. Baby and her family were very much a traditional Indian family at heart, although Baby didn't seem to know much about her heritage, the British Rule of India and Partition.

She is a lead presenter on Country­file, hosts Woman's Hour on Radio 4 every week and regularly presents on Radio 2. I felt like I was driving along a road and suddenly I'd turn off, drive for ages along a very detailed cul-de-sac, just to whip back up the way I came and head back onto the main road for a while before the next extremely detailed diversion. Make sure you subscribe to Bookshelfie wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don’t miss a second of what promises to be a banging season of Bookshelfie.
