Rezensionen

'Dynamic and complex ... full of outrageous laughter, retaining its fire even in tender moments, and relishing the challenge of locating beauty and complexity within outright gaudiness' Observer

'As exuberant as it is sharp' iNEWS

'A sweeping and irreverent tale' BBC

'The word-of-mouth breakout ... we guarantee The Persians will have you hooked from the first action-filled chapter' Stylist

'Mahloudji writes with a wisdom and confidence rarely seen in a debut ... Multigenerational stories of family anguish and upheaval remain as popular as ever, from ... Min Jin Lee's Pachinko and Elif Shafak's stunning exploration of generational trauma, The Island of Missing Trees. The Persians earns a place alongside these heavyweights' Guardian

'A wonderful multi-generational family drama with characters you really care about. I'm still thinking about them now. I enjoyed it enormously' Marian Keyes, author of My Favourite Mistake

'A mesmerising debut that reminds us that our past travels with us ... Gorgeously written, with a flair for the comic and characters that dance off the page and into your heart' Monica Ali, author of Love Marriage

'An ambitious, glorious feat. Five women's voices become one irresistible whole in this darkly funny, richly satisfying, wonderful debut' Sarah Winman, author of Still Life

'The Persians questions history's grip on our lives-is it possible to free ourselves from the past, and do we even want to? Gloriously engrossing' Tash Aw, author of We, The Survivors

'An epic of intricate and beautiful proportion' Amina Cain, author of Indelicacy

'A witty and deeply absorbing saga' Dina Nayeri, author of Who Gets Believed?

'Filled with heartbreak, humour, and so much love' Vanessa Chan, author of The Storm We Made

'Glitzy, gutsy and deliciously dark, a romp with serious things to say' Samantha Ellis, author of Take Courage

'Half outrageous, compulsive, shameless; half tender, loving and funny ... a very brilliant, very special book' Jessica Stanley, author of A Great Hope
