Reviews

A beautiful debut that mixes humour with biting social commentary.
*Cosmopolitan Magazine*

Biswas proves a natural writer with a nice turn of phrase.
*Guardian*

A comedy of manners ... charmingly told.
*Financial Times*

One to watch.
*Image Magazine, Ireland*

This fast paced debut gives us the age-old dilemma of family struggle told in frank funny language by a new name to watch.
*Nottingham Evening Post*

A gritty, sharp, social comedy. Like Monica Ali's Brick Lane, but funnier.
*Elle Magazine*

A delightful first novel about a young Indian called Mousumi visiting her sophisticated relations in London ... A coming-of-age story with a difference.
