Review:
Her tussle with India is one of the richest treats of contemporary literature * Guardian * Deliciously comic * Daily Telegraph * Among the best fiction written about the country since A Passage to India * Observer * Each work has her hallmark of balance, subtlety, wry humor and beauty * New York Times Book Review * A writer of genius ... a writer of world class - a master storyteller * Sunday Times * Praise for her previous work: The scenes are so precisely balanced and counterpoised that each enriches and illuminates * Listener * Brilliantly readable * Auberon Waugh, Daily Mail *
