'A rich, sensual novel that gives voice to the invisible' Financial Times - shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2019

For Leila, each minute after her death brings a vivid memory- the taste of spiced goat stew, sacrificed by her father to celebrate the long-awaited birth of a son; the sight of bubbling vats of lemon and sugar which women use to wax their legs while men attend mosque; the scent of cardamom coffee that she shares with a handsome student in the brothel where she works. Each memory, too, recalls the friends Leila made at each key moment in her life - friends who are now desperately trying to find her . . .
