Amina Mazid is twenty-four when she leaves Bangladesh for Rochester, New York, and for George Stillman, the husband who met and wooed her online. It's a twenty-first-century romance that echoes ancient traditions - the arranged marriages of her home country. And though George falls for Amina because she doesn't 'play games', they will both hide a secret, and vital, part of their lives from each other.
A brilliantly observed, wry and yet deeply moving novel about the exhilerations - and complications - of getting, and staying, wed. Reminiscent of Anne Tyler, Curtis Sittenfeld's The American Wife and Jennifer Egan, The Newlyweds is a tour de force - a novel as rich with misunderstandings as it is with unlikely connections.
Every minute I was away from this book I was longing to be back in the world she created', Ann Patchett, author of State of Wonder
A marvellous book', Kiran Desai, winner of the MAN Booker Prize for The Inheritance of Loss
