Reviews
"Ambitious."-- Publishers Weekly "Syal so skillfully uses this bicultural cast of characters to explore the dramatic complexities of transnational surrogacy. The many themes of this novel, including generational conflicts, cultural myopia, economic privilege, and gender politics, give readers plenty to think about... A well-paced, enjoyable read" - Kirkus Reviews "With an absorbing modern family saga story line and sympathetic, compelling characters, Syal's novel trains a personal lens on ethical issues surrounding surrogacy and women's rights."--Sonia Reppe, Library Journal "Syal's main achievement with this rumbustious, confrontational and ultimately heartbreaking book has been to turn the standard British-Asian displacement narrative on its head." --Alfred Hickling, The Guardian "A delicately written, profound study of the female condition in the rich world and the poor. The gifted Syal does it again. And I go green all over." Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. The Independent "For sheer scope and ambition [Syal] makes Dickens and Tolstoy seem single-minded. She pulls it off with panache."--Susan Elkin, The Independent "It has interracial surrogacy, extended-family strife, trips to India, culture clashes and heart-rending life decisions: surely the makings of a hit." - The Sunday Times (UK), "Passionate and opinionated . . . This book is bound to delight many readers."-- The Sunday Times (London) "Beneath the pacey narrative and emotional journeys thrum observations about youth and age, East and West, wealth and poverty, love and sex, pain, [and] joy. . . . A delicately written, profound study of the female condition in the rich world and the poor. The gifted Syal does it again."--Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, The Independent (London) "Sprawling, humorous, and sensitive."-- Metro (London) "For sheer scope and ambition [Syal] makes Dickens and Tolstoy seem single-minded."--Susan Elkin, The Independent (London) "[A] rambunctious, confrontational and ultimately heartbreaking book."--Alfred Hickling, The Guardian (London) "Ambitious."-- Publishers Weekly "Syal so skillfully uses this bicultural cast of characters to explore the dramatic complexities of transnational surrogacy. The many themes of this novel, including generational conflicts, cultural myopia, economic privilege, and gender politics, give readers plenty to think about. . . . A well-paced, enjoyable read."-- Kirkus Reviews "With an absorbing modern family saga story line and sympathetic, compelling characters, Syal's novel trains a personal lens on ethical issues surrounding surrogacy and women's rights."--Sonia Reppe, Library Journal

Life hasn't always been easy for Shyama, a woman in her mid-forties whose husband abandoned her when their daughter was still young. But she has finally found happiness with Toby, a man ten years her junior. She and Toby want to have a child together, but Shyama's doctor tells her that her womb has become "inhospitable."("An inhospitable womb There, she had been looking for a title for her autobiography.") While Shyama and Toby begin their search for the perfect surrogate, four thousand miles away a young woman in rural India named Mala becomes convinced that carrying a child for an international couple will be her ticket out of poverty--and as her life intersects with Shyama's, the two women soon discover that an apparently simple arrangement may be far more complicated than it once seemed., Life hasn't always been easy for Shyama, a woman in her mid-forties whose husband abandoned her when their daughter was still young.

    Excellent prices on used books in great condition. Shipped out quickly. Product condition is accurate to rating in listing. Thanks! NOTE: For this particular book (I ordered several), it came in a soft cover rather than hard cover as the listing stated. I contacted the seller and they responded promptly. They agreed that it was a listing error and provided me with a full refund for this book (without return required) proving they are both a responsible and trustworthy seller.

    This book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
