Critics Review
Marvellous … Kiran Desai romanticises neither home nor elsewhere … Heeds not only the brave new world, but also the country left behind – Lionel Shriver * Financial Times *Affecting and endearing, full of laughter and tears * Independent *Seldom has an author offered so fearless a glimpse into how ordinary lives are caught up in the collision of modernity and cultural tradition, and in the schisms and fanaticism that all too often ensue * Elle *If book reviews just cut to the chase, this one would simply read: This is a terrific novel! Read it! * Boston Globe *Always pulsing with energy * Guardian *
