Q & A

Poignant, funny, rich... with an utterly orignal and brilliant structure at its heart

Meg Rosoff, author of HOW I LIVE NOW

This brilliant story, as colossal, vibrant and chaotic as India itself... is not to be missed

Observer

Swarup is an accomplished storyteller

Daily Mail

This lively picaresque novel has an original and telling premise... a colourful portrait of Indian society is painted with remarkable lightness and wit

Sunday Telegraph

An engaging and surprisingly informative read

Telegraph

A hugely successful mixture of satire and intrigue

Independent on Sunday

Mingling broad humour with incisive social comment, Q&A is absorbing and richly entertaining reading

The Times

This novel is part homage to the larger-than-life Bollywood film industry, and the characters and story are so engaging that you really have to read on to find out how it all comes together in the end

Derby Evening Telegraph

Q&A is popular fiction at its best and brightest. The prose is efficient and the characters are briskly drawn in strong, sharp colours. Swarup clearly understands his job. As an exercise in genre, the novel is a triumph and that was before the movie-makers got to work

Robert McCrum, Guardian

One of the most delightful reads i've enjoyed in years
