Shining Hero by Sara Banerji
A rich and dramatic story of a poor young Indian boy who fights like a tiger to achieve fame and fortune.‘Sara Banerji is a very gifted storyteller – such is the passion and conviction of her narrativeShe seems a natural, a writer of great warmth and directness. It must be a serious contender for this year’s Booker Prize.’ The Times
‘An ingenious and surprising novel. Banerji performs nimble creative tricks. Her adaptation of an essential human story, which shows that life everywhere follows certain primary patterns, might make this an Indiacentric Ulysses.’ TLS
‘It’s not like any other book set in India I’ve ever read – there’s no striving to be exotic – it’s rich, exciting and moving, at ease depicting the workings of a big, affluent landed household, yet equally confident in its dealings with urban street life. This is a lovely big book.’ Barbara Trapido
Sara Banerji was born in England but lived in India for many years where she ran a dairy farm. She now lives in Oxford where she teaches creative writing.
