I loved it. It's wise and absorbing and the voices of all the characters are so incredibly distinct. A triumph. * Louise ONeill, 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 * Guardian *
