Such a Fun Age: 'The book of the year' Independent - SB ✓ In Stock

'A new literary star' The Times The instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Longlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize A Times, Guardian, Sunday Times, Telegraph, Mail on Sunday, Red, Good Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan Book of the Year When Emira is apprehended at a supermarket for 'kidnapping' the white child she's actually babysitting, it sets off an explosive chain of events. Her employer Alix, a feminist blogger with the best of intentions, resolves to make things right. But Emira herself is aimless, broke and wary of Alix's desire to help. When a surprising connection emerges between the two women, it sends them on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know - about themselves, each other, and the messy dynamics of privilege. __________________________ 'Essential. This year's hit debut' Guardian 'A biting tale of race and class' Sunday Times 'I couldn't put this down' Jojo Moyes 'Bites into the zeitgeist then spits it out with gusto. You really should read it, ASAP' Stylist 'About power dynamics, race, social commentary, and also why and how we are the woman we are' Pandora Sykes 'An extraordinarily deft debut, written with wisdom, kindness and sharp humour' Daily Mail 'A beautiful tale of how we live now' Elizabeth Day A Reese Witherspoon and Zoella Book Club Pick

Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny / Kiran Desai ✓ In Stock

Kiran Desai's long-awaited third novel is an utter triumph . . . it's one of the strongest contenders on this year's Booker longlist . . . Sentence by sentence, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny makes for blissful reading . . . Desai has managed some literary alchemy. On the surface, she has written a believable but still cute will-they-won't-they romance . . . but she also incorporates elements of magical realism . . . and through all that, Desai uses the struggle of her two writer protagonists to acknowledge, embrace and then undercut various tropes and cliches that Western readers have come to expect from her, and her compatriots Daily Telegraph (5 stars) - Lucy Scholes A novel of stunning scope and ambition . . . Remarkable, refreshing, insistently hopeful . . . Desai's great gift is texture. Her writing gives even minor characters a sense of history and gravity. Her people never feel invented; they seem observed . . . There's a capaciousness, a sense that the private dilemmas of two young Indians in New York refract global histories. At a time of distracted fractured reading, Desai returns to the novel's oldest and still most radical ambition: to make the complexity of other humans lives sharable . . . Her prose is luxurious and sensual; each item of food and shift in the quality of light is noted with such tenderness that is becomes something life affirming . . . a novel of tremendous scope and emotional richness; absorbing, poignant, funny and, above all, deeply humane Irish Times - Ruby Eastwood The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny has the feel, and at nearly 700 pages, the size, of a multigenerational epic. For all the book's great scope, though, no detail is too granular to escape Desai's notice. Through the love story of its two main characters, Indians torn between America and home, the book explores and enacts the tension between two paths for Indian fiction, social realism and magical realism, and fuses them to original and enthralling effect Guardian - C
