‘An unostentatious tour de force, combining a tender and richly affectionate family memoir with a vividly evoked portrait of town and country life and the story of the birth of a nation. It is full of surprises’ Margaret Drabble
‘Beautifully packed with detail ... does for Bangladesh what Salmon Rushdie did for India with Midnight’s Children ... It is a remarkable re-creation of a land that most of us know little about’ Sunday Times
‘This is his most purely pleasurable novel to date’ Daily Mail
‘Highly impressive ... for all Hensher's accomplished ventriloquism – his ability to inhabit the voice of a Muslim child and a history teacher at the same time – his own voice is not lost ... heart-breaking’ Guardian
‘A deeply interesting book ... The joins are seamless ... It is inventive, clever and loving; a Booker candidate, I would have thought.’ Spectator
‘...this delightful book shows for the first time what Hensher has largely concealed in the past: his heart’ Amanda Craig, Independent on Sunday
Philip Hensher is a columnist for the Independent, arts critic for the Spectator and a Granta Best of Young British novelist. He has written seven novels, including The Mulberry Empire and the Booker-shortlisted The Northern Clemency, and one collection of short stories. He lives in South London.
