_____________________________ * A BBC TWO BETWEEN THE COVERS BOOK
CLUB PICK FOR 2023 * ‘This shimmering slice of Trinidadian gothic
deserves to be a Booker contender . . . [A] sumptuous, brilliantly
written novel’ THE TIMES ‘An astonishing novel –
linguistically gorgeous, narratively propulsive and psychologically
profound’ BERNARDINE EVARISTO ‘Deeply impressive . . . Energy
and inventiveness distinguish every page’ HILARY MANTEL ‘The
biggest, most frightening, beautiful and alive novel I’ve read in
as long as I can remember’ EVIE WYLD
_____________________________ A 2023 highlight for: Financial Times
* Guardian * Evening Standard * Daily Mail * BBC News The music was
still playing when Dalton Changoor vanished into thin air... On a
hill overlooking Bell Village sits the Changoor farm, where Dalton
and Marlee Changoor live in luxury unrecognisable to those who
reside in the farm’s shadow. Down below is the barrack, a
ramshackle building of wood and tin, divided into rooms occupied by
whole families. Among these families are the Saroops – Hans,
Shweta, and their son, Krishna, who live hard lives of backbreaking
work, grinding poverty and devotion to faith. When Dalton Changoor
goes missing and Marlee’s safety is compromised, farmhand Hans is
lured by the promise of a handsome stipend to move to the farm as
watchman. But as the mystery of Dalton’s disappearance unfolds
their lives become hellishly entwined, and the small community
altered forever. Hungry Ghosts is a mesmerising novel about
violence, religion, family and class, rooted in the wild and
pastoral landscape of 1940s colonial central Trinidad.
