Praise for ‘Another Country’:
‘Beautifully delineated ... it is a measure of Joseph’s skill that despite being spiky, hopelessly indecisive and eternally dissatisfied, Leela remains such a sympathetic protagonist. The writing throughout is cool and clear, and whilst the overall tone of the novel is hauntingly melancholic, it is also distinguished by a refreshingly abrasive wit’ Peter Parker, Sunday Times
‘Joseph has an unerring instinct for detail that brings a scene to life ... Her descriptions ... are gorgeously vivid’ Sunday Telegraph
‘A brief, poetic novel about the attrition caused by, and the inadvertent but radiant surplus gained from, aimless drift. Its subtlety and skill, and the instinct for beauty that marked Joseph's first novel, confirm her unusual and immense talent.’ Amit Chaudhuri
‘Joseph's writing is rich and original. She can describe silences and what is left unsaid between her characters just as well as she describes what they do and say’ Observer
‘A readable and entertaining book’ Guardian
‘Subtle and affecting’ Catherine Taylor, Sunday Telegraph Books of the Year
‘Joseph’s eye for the myriad disappointments of young professional life is excruciatingly accurate, especially in the London section... Joseph is a skilled observer.’ Metro
‘Joseph has a sharp eye for detail, whether she’s writing about the slightly desperate attempts of ex-pats to create a social life, or the quirks of a rapidly changing Bombay’ Psychologies Magazine
‘Don’t Miss’ Woman & Home Magazine
‘Joseph is excellent at capturing the fleeting moments of success in provisional social life ... she has an equally impressive instinct for the telling detail in relationships.’ Alex Clark, TLS
