The breathtaking new novel from the Booker-shortlisted author of The Year of the Runaways
Sunjeev Sahota is the author of Ours Are the Streets and The Year of the Runaways, which was shortlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize, the International Dylan Thomas Prize and the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award, and won the Encore Prize, the European Union Prize for Literature, and the South Bank Sky Arts Award. He was chosen as one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists in 2013. He lives in Sheffield.
Sunjeev Sahota's writing is the stuff of miracles. Emotional and
heartrending, China Room juggles questions of love, debt, and what
it means to build a home alongside the history that carries us.
China Room is a propulsive dream, intricately wrought, and Sahota
is a maestro.
*Bryan Washington, author of LOT and MEMORIAL*
China Room is a rare novel that makes you pause in its beauty.
*Sunday Telegraph, *Novel of the Week**
Sahota is a truly original novelist, his prose sparingly precise in
its beauty, steeped in kindness and deep humanity.
*TLS*
With poise, restraint and deep intelligence, Sahota feeds us big,
difficult themes - segregation and freedom, revolution and empire -
in a form that is unsweetened, fresh and nourishing. Surely this,
his third novel, will propel him up the shortlists to the
prizewinning status he deserves.
*The Times, 'This Book Will Win Prizes'*
An extraordinarily gifted writer... Sahota's ability to shine a
phrase is not bought for the usual steep formalist price, at the
expense of simplicity, intimate feeling, and solid representation.
He's both camera and painter, in a literary world that often
separates those novelistic tasks.
*New Yorker*
