• Description and Reviews

  With the 2003 publication of her acclaimed debut novel, Brick Lane in 2003, which was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize, Monica Ali established herself as a keen observer of the human condition, in all its ordinariness and its follies. With great compassion and insight, Ali writes of her “kings,” and we learn how their history has, indeed, formed them. –Valerie Ryan5 Second Blog Post We had the opportunity to meet the lovely and talented Monica Ali when she stopped by our Seattle offices while on tour for her new book. Here is an excerpt: Fans may recall Ali's debut novel, Brick Lane, which was centered around Islamic immigrants in pre- and post-9/11 England. Monica Ali's latest book is set in a well known region of Portugal where she and her family sojourn for a few months of the year. summarized from Amazon.com [[reviews|asin=]]
