Review
A sparkling funny and poignant study of a young maths prodigy struggling with her gift and a difficult family -- Gerard Woodward, , Books of the Year * Observer * Superb, brilliantly realised. The searing narrative is unflinchingly and tenderly written * Independent * Pinpoints with genuine insight the bewilderment and anguish of a young woman marked out from her peers * Sunday Times * Lalwani's evocation of teenage dislocation is pitch-perfect and she inhabits her heroine's interior world with tender authority * Guardian * The novel's triumph is in elucidating the hurt of both child and parents. Lalwani compellingly depicts the pain and pleasure of breaking the rules * New Statesman * Beautiful, brilliant . . . Unveils the grand emotions and tiny details of other people's lives with insight, compassion, humour and heartbreaking honesty * Stephen Merchant * Accomplished and confident. Much to admire from the assured descriptions to the well judged blend of comedy and drama * The Times * A poignant, vivid debut. Beautifully describes the dramas of growing up -- , Book of the Month * Marie Claire * A giddy portrayal of youthful exuberance unleashed that rings startlingly true * Metro * Compelling, heart-wrenching and laced with redemptive hope . . . Touching and funny * Observer *
