Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"Alternately hilarious and scathing, occasionally poignant, Syal's tale sheds much light on growing up in British Indian society . . . [Syal] manages to hold her reader's interest through her energetic prose and biting commentary about people and places." --Bharti Kirchner, The Seattle Times

"A compassionate, resonate tale of culture clash, Indian identity, and friendship . . . Spot-on cinematic sensibility and laugh-out-loud dialogue." --Publishers Weekly

"The great strength of her second novel is a rich, glorious prose that never ceased to delight me." --Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post

"Syal deftly captures the growing pains of second-generation Indian woman . . . As they struggle to liberate themselves without disowning their culture--or each other--the women, by turns maddening and endearing, become vibrantly alive." --Paula Chin, People

"Gossipy, funny, and thoroughly entertaining." --Jennifer Reese, The New York Times Book Review
