Review:
"A bold and delightful novel, executed with energy and flair... Albinia has pulled off the remarkable trick of melding a story about modern family ties with a timeless tale about gods and avatars. Leela's Book is as much a meditation on tensions between brothers and sisters, or between parents and their children, as it is a rumination on the nature of storytelling. For a novel so thick in plot, and so lush with details of Indian life, it reads effortlessly. The result is magnificent." (Financial Times Weekend)

"Leela's Book is a stimulating novel in which Albinia skilfully manages an intricate plot and an enormous, diverse cast of characters. Her immense historical acumen and sophisticated sense of culture have enabled her to craft a powerful tale" (The Guardian)

"Bold, playful, smart and lively." (Time Out)

"An epic, polyphonic juggernaut of a novel. Ambitious, skilfully plotted, and full of wonderful surprises. I was hooked from the very first page." (Tahmima Anam, author of A Golden Age)

"This is steeped in the tradition of the Indian epic, yet modern and vastly entertaining." (The Times)
Book Description:
Sure to be one of the most exciting debut novels of 2011, Alice Albinia's gloriously playful first novel weaves a story of sexual and textual mistakes against the backdrop of Delhi past and present.
