Edgware Road by Yasmin Cordery Khan
A debut novel about family and identity, wealth and corruption, the ties that bind us and the ties we have no idea we've severed, set between Karachi and London.
Part family mystery, part immigrant hustle, Edgware Road is a complete tour de force.. Khan calls up all the ghosts that prowl between children and their parents, between immigrants and their homelands, between our dreams of wealth and our hunger for love, and exorcises them with prose so lapidary and understanding so vast Khan's novel is like unto a blessing' -- Junot Díaz
