It may not be high literature, but this is a fantastic book! It's funny, clever and oh so sexy. It's also a sensitive (at least to my outsider's eyes), affectionate portrayal of the Punjabi diaspora in and around London, in all its internal diversity - but I promise that does not real like an anthropology book or a national geographic article - it reads like romance/mystery/erotic novel.

Perhaps the handling of the end of the story (when perpetrators are found and love prevails) is predictable, but then again, one could see that as an homage to the genre. Be prepared to see aubergines and ghee in a whole new light.
