![]() I will never forget it - Garth Greenwell * author of What Belongs to You * Anuk Arudpragasam's novel is a work of furious, hypnotic beauty - honest and unsparing in its engagement with the consequences of war, and brilliantly tender and generous in its portrayal of love - Dinaw Mengestu, author * All Our Names * A closely-focused hypnotic novel of serious intensity - Romesh Gunesekera An essential book, and not just because its setting and its subject matter are essential, but because it is so awake to - in fact haunted by -elements of experience that rarely make it onto the page. ![]() Anuk Arudpragasam has written a great book. This extraordinary debut is of that class: a novel of consciousness unrelenting in its devotion to the imperiled body an exquisite, unbearably moving work of art equally alive to brutality and tenderness. ![]() Very seldom in a reading life does a novel alter your sense not only of literature but of the world. ![]()
