The author of the multi-prize-winning The Year of the Runaways

generations 'China Room is the kind of novel that reminds you why
you fell in love with reading' Open Book, BBC Radio 4 Shortlisted

2021 Longlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction
2022 Longlist for the Ondaatje Prize 2022 A Daily Telegraph ,
Guardian and The Times Book of the Year Mehar, a young bride in
rural 1929 Punjab, is trying to discover the identity of her new
husband. She and her sisters-in-law, married to three brothers in a
single ceremony, spend their days at work in the family's 'china
room', sequestered from contact with the men. When Mehar develops a
theory as to which of them is hers, a passion is ignited that will
put more than one life at risk. Spiralling around Mehar's story is
that of a young man who in 1999 travels from England to the
now-deserted farm, its 'china room' locked and barred. In enforced
flight from the traumas of his adolescence - his experiences of
addiction, racism, and estrangement from the culture of his birth -
he spends a summer in contemplation and recovery, finally gathering
the strength to return home. Readers love CHINA ROOM: *****
Amazing... I could not put it down! ***** The characters jump off
the pages... Beautiful ***** Powerful and heart-wrenching *****
Wonderful... I read it in one sitting ***** Gripping
storytelling... An easy five stars
