Critics Review
The new voice of a changing continent. A writer at the top of his game
Dazzling, addictive, tremendous. A writer at the height of his powers with a hell of a story to tell * Guardian *Beautifully conceived and exquisitely executed * Sunday Times *The new voice of a changing continent. A writer at the top of his game * Metro *No story could be more of our time than this one. Conceptually brilliant and truly empathic – Nell Freudenberger * Metro *An ultra-intelligent and knowing account of life in the developing world. Simply brilliant * Daily Mail *Isn’t this the definition of great fiction, that even when it begins with a character … who’s nothing like you, by the end you are convinced that it really is about you? That’s a kind of miracle * Salon *Even more intriguing, compelling and moving than The Reluctant Fundamentalist. A marvellous book * Philip Pullman *A dazzling stylistic tour de force; a love story disguised as a self help parody freighted with sly social satire. As timely and timeless a novel as I’ve read in years – Jay McInerney
