Synopsis

This book is a self-help book. Its objective, as it says on the cover, is to show you how to get filthy rich in rising Asia. And to do that it has to find you, huddled, shivering, on the packed earth under your mother's cot one cold, dewy morning. Your anguish is the anguish of a boy whose chocolate has been thrown away, whose remote controls are out of batteries, whose scooter is busted, whose new sneakers have been stolen. This is all the more remarkable since you've never in your life seen any of these things . . .

Media Reviews
Dazzling, addictive, tremendous. A writer at the height of his powers with a hell of a story to tell * Guardian *
Beautifully conceived and exquisitely executed * Sunday Times *
The new voice of a changing continent. A writer at the top of his game * Metro *
No story could be more of our time than this one. Conceptually brilliant and truly empathic -- Nell Freudenberger * Metro *
An ultra-intelligent and knowing account of life in the developing world. Simply brilliant * Daily Mail *
Isn't this the definition of great fiction, that even when it begins with a character . . . who's nothing like you, by the end you are convinced that it really is about you? That's a kind of miracle * Salon *
Even more intriguing, compelling and moving than The Reluctant Fundamentalist. A marvellous book * Philip Pullman *
A dazzling stylistic tour de force; a love story disguised as a self help parody freighted with sly social satire. As timely and timeless a novel as I've read in years -- Jay McInerney
