Welcome to Litsy!

We follow the Islam family from their restaurant in Wales as a tragedy slowly unveils a secret. This is a story about family and grief, and also the push and pull of different cultures, of modernity and traditions, of who is family and who isn‘t. It wasn‘t perfect, the changing use of given names and nicknames/family names confused me at times, and there were some narrative inconsistencies that were jarring, but those aside overall a great read.

I managed to get 5 minutes in Waterstones before I left London yesterday. I already wanted Rabbit Hutch, but the tagged one I hadn't heard of before. Apparently it's a family drama spanning London, New York, Wales and Bangladesh. There are sisters and a "devastating secret". Sold. Sounds great - and that cover ?
