So far so good. Reminds me a bit of Nick Hornby for no good reason.
Finally finished. Quite a good read. Interesting and varied characters well drawn. Interesting story. Her writing style still reminds me of Nick Hornby although slightly heavier subject matter. But overall an enjoyable read.

Felt like a big freight train hurtling towards a broken bridge. Funny.
Enjoyed the examination of life in London, England through the eyes of immigrants and their 1st generation children. Themes are still relevant today.
I wanted to like it, but didn't really. It didn't pull me in. There were long gaps as I made my way through, I'm somewhere about halfway or farther (I don't think my bookmark is in the right place, it's been at least 2 months). I don't care about the characters.
It's about two guys who serve together in the British Army and their lifelong friendship and their families. Samad Iqbal from Bangladesh, his twins Millat and Magid (and how they are treated), and the friend Archie and his black wife and their daughter.

I liked it for a while, then I got to a part about the main men in the book and lost all interest. Maybe I'll pick it back up one day.
