Reviews

This brilliant story, as colossal, vibrant and chaotic as India itself... is not to be missed
*Observer*

Poignant, funny, rich... with an utterly orignal and brilliant structure at its heart
*Meg Rosoff, author of HOW I LIVE NOW*

Mingling broad humour with incisive social comment, Q&A is absorbing and richly entertaining reading
*The Times*

This lively picaresque novel has an original and telling premise... a colourful portrait of Indian society is painted with remarkable lightness and wit
*Sunday Telegraph*

A hugely successful mixture of satire and intrigue
*Independent on Sunday*

Swarup is an accomplished storyteller
*Daily Mail*

An engaging and surprisingly informative read
*Telegraph*

This novel is part homage to the larger-than-life Bollywood film industry, and the characters and story are so engaging that you really have to read on to find out how it all comes together in the end
*Derby Evening Telegraph*

One of the most delightful reads i've enjoyed in years
*Shashi Tharoor*

Q&A is popular fiction at its best and brightest. The prose is efficient and the characters are briskly drawn in strong, sharp colours. Swarup clearly understands his job. As an exercise in genre, the novel is a triumph and that was before the movie-makers got to work
