by Sunjeev Sahota
A book set in India and the UK across two different times. A young second generation British Indian is trying to kick an opium addiction and is goes back to family in India to try and help.
His great grandmother was one of three girls married to three brothers at the same time, but none of the brides knew who their husband was. She is compromised by a series of misunderstandings and the story gradually unfolds for both her and the narrator.
I really enjoyed this book and would have liked to see it make the Booker shortlist. The judges felt otherwise! 8/10
