date. * Alfred Hickling, Guardian *

destined to be. * Stylist, 'April's best new books' *
Intelligent, devastating and gorgeously entertaining, this is a

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.

utterly engrossing. * The List *
The novel captures the changing faces of racism with memorable
vividness. * Sunday Times *
