'I immediately read The Memory Book and it's WONDERFUL ... I'm so happy because she's written other books and its so lovely to find a writer you love who has a backlist' Marian Keyes
For five years, Maggie has known what her life is all about: her satisfying job in a small catering company, her boyfriend (and boss) Christian, and the future they're building together. Christian is the man Maggie's destined to be with forever, she fell in love with him the moment they met, their love runs River Deep, Mountain High - until Christian comes home one night and says the terrible words 'it's over'.
Numb, shocked and disbelieving, Maggie moves home to her parents' pub. Jobless and single, living in a bedroom still papered with A-ha and Take That posters, she's back to square one. The life she spent five years building is over. Or is it? Convinced she knows Christian better than he knows himself, Maggie sets out to win him back. But when she enlists the help of Pete, temporarily abandoned by his fiancé, she starts to wonder just how broken her heart really is...
I immediately read The Memory Book and it's WONDERFUL ... I'm so happy because she's written other books and its so lovely to find a writer you love who has a backlist
—— Marian KeyesOne of my favourite writers
—— Cara DelevingneA witty, wonderful, warm-hearted read by former Company Young Writer Of The Year
—— Company...a stylish feel-good story of love lost and found.
—— Daily RecordWaheed writes about Kashmir with compassion, not anger . . . [and] one finds a strange and terrible beauty. There are no heroes or villains in this exquisite book, just a palpable grief for what might have been
—— India Today, 'Books of the Year'A beautifully told and finely choreographed story of love, art and conflict in Kashmir
—— Kamila Shamsie , Guardian, Books of the YearWaheed's new novel returns to 1990s Kashmir. If The Collaborator was journalistic in its zeal to explain Kashmir . . . [here] what keeps you reading is the story. He relies on family dynamics to drive the action . . . it's ultimately how the novel accounts for the moral toll of war
—— Sunday TelegraphPoetic and political with a warm sensuousness, The Book of Gold Leaves is the year's best book. As beautifully written as the paintings on papier mache that one of its central characters executes, this fine examination of the Kashmiri condition through a Sunni-Shia love story leaves the reader both wretched and transformed, and brings us to a greater understanding of the fragility of love in a harsh climate
—— Hindustan Times, 'Books of the Year'Like the gold leaves of the book's title, Waheed's prose is like pixie dust, sprinkled all over a city of heartbreak and despair. It is a city that has found in Waheed, the great-grandson of a much-admired papier-mache artist, its truest troubadour. Read him and weep.
—— Kaveree Bamzai , India TodayA romance set against the backdrop of unrest in the Kashmiri valley in the 1990s, Waheed's second novel explores the reasons behind young men taking to bloodshed
—— Scroll India, 'Books of the Year'Both crisply amusing and genuinely scary, it's a bold, clever fable that is highly entertaining, an enigmatic modern mystery that is destined to become a modern classic
—— The Good Book GuideHypnotic, stunningly alive
—— San Diego Union-TribunePowerful... A stunning performance... Morrison is one of the most exciting living American writers
—— Kansas City StarArtisan-like control... As breathless as it is inevitable
—— Boston Globe
