I loved it. It's wise and absorbing and the voices of all the
characters are so incredibly distinct. A triumph.
*Louise O’Neill, author of 'Almost Love and Asking For It'*
Funny, profound and by far Shukla's most ambitious novel to
date.
*Alfred Hickling, Guardian*
Fascinating, funny and thoughtful.
*Bernardine Evaristo, Observer*
A wise and moving novel about family, love and the people we're
destined to be.
*Stylist, 'April's best new books'*
Intelligent, devastating and gorgeously entertaining, this is a
novel that expresses its anger with just the right level of
fun.
*Financial Times*
A funny, moving novel about what we inherit and what we create for
ourselves.
*Sunday Times, Best Summer Reads 2018*
Very funny but packs a hell of an emotional punch. It's an intimate
epic, spanning continents and decades but rooted in the internal
life of its characters.
*Nish Kumar, stand-up comedian and actor*
Written with such vitality that it lives beyond its ending.
*i Magazine*
A beautifully written and thought-provoking piece of work, which
balances humour, anger and melancholy in a way that is charming and
utterly engrossing.
*The List*
The novel captures the changing faces of racism with memorable
vividness.
*Sunday Times*
Be utterly transported by this wonderfully written tale of family,
immigration and family bonds.
*Emerald Street*
A beautiful, brilliant modern classic.
*Sabrina Mahfouz, Guardian best summer reads 2018*
This is an epic tale... but it always feels intimate
*Stylist*
Funny and profound
