The English Problem (2025)
Beena Kamlani
"n elegant, evocative prose, Beena Kamlani evokes both the British understanding of India and the Indian understanding of Britain - each culture admiring yet misapprehending the other - and the life of a man who was of both cultures and of neither. Her characters are beautifully evoked and profoundly true; her narrative of displacement and desire is persuasive and resonant; and her deep understanding of the broken politics between societies trying to make sense of each other feels particularly relevant in today's world. Unpretentious, understated, fully authentic, this is a sweeping novel of dispossession, loss, dignity, and love. It contains darkness, loneliness, even tragedy; but also an almost Gandhian narrative of peaceable, unrelenting hope."
One Woman Show (2023)
Christine Coulson
"Brilliant. Christine Coulson's tragicomedy of manners is an immense delight. Condensed into its witty format is the story of a life, a life like some I have known and others about which I have read. Coulson captures her character's gentle decline with the precision of Edith Wharton and evokes the eras she traverses with such clarity, even wisdom, describing a woman's changing (or unchanging) role in the world with an acuity that left this reader astonished time and again."
The Book of Mother (2021)
Violaine Huisman
"An indelible portrait of a brilliant, beautiful, mad and maddening woman, expressing the joy of holding her mercurial attention and also the terrible cost of that intimacy. This is an exquisite evocation of the passionate, reciprocal love that can illuminate its objects, or destroy them, or both. No one who reads this captivating book will ever forget Maman."
