Madras on Rainy Days
A Novel
Samina Ali
Picador
A Finalist for the Northern California Book Award
"Ali explores cultural conditions with sensitivity, and mercifully does not over-exoticise. Her story is intriguing . . . She is one of a rare breed of writers who take us into the closed world behind a Muslim woman's veil . . . Carefully crafted [and] eminently readable."—
Mitali Saran,
Far Eastern Economic Review
"This book goes to a place where few, if any, of its predecessors have gone before. . . [This is] a deeply feminist novel with richly drawn and complicated characters."—

Sea of Poppies
Amitav Ghosh
Picador
"Ghosh's best and most ambitious work yet is an adventure story set in nineteenth-century Calcutta against the backdrop of the Opium Wars. On the
Ibis
, a ship engaged in transporting opium across the Bay of Bengal, varied life stories converge. A fallen raja, a half-Chinese convict, a plucky American sailor, a widowed opium farmer, a transgendered religious visionary are all united by the 'smoky paradise' of the opium seed. Ghosh writes with impeccable control, and with a vivid and sometimes surprising imagination: a woman's tooth protrudes 'like a tilted gravestone'; an opium addict's writhing spasms are akin to 'looking at a pack of rats squirming in a sack'; the body of a young man is 'a smoking crater that had just risen from the ocean and was still waiting to be explored.'"—

Moth Smoke
A Novel
Mohsin Hamid
Picador
"A quietly explosive novel. Hamid's prose inexorably pulls the reader into the structure of decay that has become contemporary Pakistan—corrupt, nepotistic, drug-infused, and violent. Beautifully conceived—at times painful to read, at times comic, but, above all, honest. Hamid does for Lahore what Ben Okri does for Lagos. If I had to recommend one book on contemporary Pakistan, it would be this one."—

Beijing Coma
A Novel
Ma Jian; Translated by Flora Drew
Picador
"Ma Jian has accomplished something extremely difficult. That is, he has created a work of art that functions simultaneously as literature and call to action . . . You wish that copies of this book could be distributed along the route of the Olympic torch's progress toward the upcoming Beijing games, an event that might not be taking place had the world not succumbed to the seductions of forgetfulness—the same dangers and temptations that Ma Jian's hero, and his novel, struggle so valiantly to resist."
