Salaam Brick Lane: A Year in the New East End by Tarquin Hall

5.0

Pretty much the best kind of book for me -a memoir written by someone who's both extremely observant and bitingly funny. There's a great cast of characters from Bangladeshis to Albanians with a bunch of others tossed in. There's history and self-reflection and even a cat. This book, by the author of the charming Vish Puri mysteries is an all around great read.
