Review A profoundly moving and uplifting book about the triumphant survival of life against all odds. It’ll go straight into your heart and expand its capacity for feeling. Read it and be changed.– Neel Mukherjee A writer of rare bravery, putting forward a manifesto against the tropes and delighting in subverting expectations.– Roopa Farooki A deeply affecting book, touching and beautifully rendered. A powerful read from an exciting new voice.– Irenosen Okojie  Powerful, moving, beautifully observed and wonderfully sensitive. It mines the depths and heights of human love and suffering and is perceptive about family dynamics, the weight of trauma and comfort of family support. The steady accretion of detail and emotion are exceptionally skilful; the book creeps up on you and steals your heart. I couldn’t stop reading once I started. I particularly like the observations of daily life in cities – the textured evocation of having to walk and talk, live, love and work in the ‘ordinary’ world – while going through operatic swings of emotion at the same time. Mona Dash is a powerful, important and fearlessly honest new voice – capable of looking the deepest suffering and the greatest joy full in the face– Bidisha Read more
