Longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize, this is a superb second novel from the author of the multiple-award winning ' Saraswati Park'. Paris, London, Bombay: three cities form a backdrop to a journey through Leela's twenties at the dawn of the new millennium, as she learns to negotiate the world, work, relationships & sex, & find some measure of authenticity. Sharp, funny, & melancholy, Another Country brings a cool eye to friendship, love, & the idea of belonging in its movements through old & new worlds. As with her debut, Saraswati Park, Anjali Joseph's beautiful, clear writing captures exactly both emotions & surroundings.
