India, Dec. 26 -- If 2009 was the year of Stephenie Meyer, Dan Brown and Chetan Bhagat, 2010 promises a wider range - some big brands, many old favourites, and a lot of great books across the board. First (Debut) fiction: Homeboy by H M Naqvi features young Pakistanis in post 9/11 America. Rahul Mehta's Quarantine has stories about gay, young men between India and America; Serious Men by Manu Joseph is a humorous novel set in Mumbai and Shrabani Basu's Victoria and Abdul is both historical exploration and tender story about the relationship that had Victorian circles abuzz. Sarita Mandanna's Tiger Hills is a romantic saga set in Coorg. Witness the Night by Kishwar Desai portrays the travails of a young girl in small town India who is charged with the brutal slaying of her entire family. Saraswati Park by Anjali Joseph focuses on middle Mumbai while The Last Song of Savio De Souza by Binoo John takes a deep look at multi-religious Kerala. But The Trains Are on Time, set in Delhi, by Vishwajyoti Ghosh is a graphic novel, as is Sudershan Chimpanzee by Rajesh Devraj about the chimp star of B-list Bollywood. Return to Almora by R K Pachauri sees its protagonist chase meaning, memories, and peace. Third Best by K V Arjun Rao is a gritty coming of age novel about boarding schools. Once Upon a Time in Scandinavistan by Zac O'Yeah is an ingeniously stylised, dystopian crime novel set in the grunge of a futuristic Europe after it has been colonised by India. She's a Jolly Good Fellow by Sajita Nair is chick lit in boots and berets - a comic romance set against the rugged backdrop of the Indian Army. A new series, 'Metro Reads', focuses on debut fiction in its first clutch - Dreams in Prussian Blue, Love Over Coffee and Where Girls Dare. The Gamechangers by Fake IPL Player, is a tongue firmly in cheek take on Indian cricket by the best known anonymous writer in the country. Dork: The Incredible Adventures of Robin 'Einstein' Varghese by Sidin Vadukut, is a laugh-out-loud story about a loser who ends up winning. If I Could Tell You, a novel by Soumya Bhattacharya, has an unnamed narrator writing letters to his daughter, about life, longing, love and loss. Broken News by Amrita Tripathi (herself a TV anchor) has as its protagonist an anchor at a TV news channel. TV anchor to novelist seems a definite trend and Abhisar Sharma's Eye of the Predator is conspiracy theory fiction that looks at the killing of Baitullah Mehsud.
