The June book is The Magnificent Ruins by Nayantara Roy

The story takes place in 2015 when Lila De, a young Indian American editor, gets a call from her mother in India, informing her that she’s inherited her family’s sprawling estate. She returns to Kolkata and reunites with her mother after a decade of estrangement, and her grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins, who still live in the house, resent her sudden inheritance. Lila is forced to come to terms with both the past and present, as family secrets emerge.
