Brisk and svelte, it compels us to experience and live inside the horrors of child abuse and its ensuing trauma.

An impeccably contrived and unflinching novel which is by turns unsparing and sentimental, poetic and enlightening.

The language becomes more obscure and eventually reading this book feels like swimming through setting cement.

The movie will metamorphose your ideas on life, marriage, fidelity and endurance against a physical impediment.

Throughout the novel, the revelations are as artful as they are shocking and suspenseful.

It somehow fails to mollify the insatiable expectations that readers have from a Man Booker prize winning novel.
