Beskrivning

As a flight from Dubai comes into London's Heathrow and hits turbulence, four people from different corners of the Arab world are thrown together: beautiful, lost Lamis, recently divorced from her wealthy Iraqi husband; Nicholas, an expert at Southeby's on Islamic daggers; louche and noisy Amira, a Moroccan who lives off immoral earnings and the transvestite Samir, with a monkey hidden in a basket. Landing safely they go their separate ways, but from then on they find their lives are intimately entwined. ONLY IN LONDON is a funny, tender and sexy novel that uncovers a unique world in the heart of a big city.

Recensioner i media

'A fresh, amusing and surprising take on London, and on life' The Times 'An exquisitely comic tale of self-reinvention and survival' Guardian 'Devastatingly entertaining fiction ... teeming with ideas: memory and exile, language, desire and identity, and the search for order in the chaos of a metropolis' Literary Review 'A wittily sympathetic story about an England that tolerates but never quite accepts exotic foreigners' Sunday Times
