CHINA ROOM by Sunjeev Sahota
2021 Booker Prize-finalist Sunjeev Sahota's CHINA ROOM continues to garner enthusiastic praise. The New Yorker reviewed the novel, writing that "Sahota is an enormously gifted writer… a bold storyteller who seems to have learned as many tricks from TV as from Tolstoy, and has a jeweler’s unillusioned eye for the goods." And in their review, the Wall Street Journal writes, “CHINA ROOM forges telling and skillful connections between the two very different eras, showing the ways that a place—a house, a room—can store up pieces of a remarkable past and release them, generations later, when someone comes looking.” Viking Books published the novel July 13, 2021.
