This is by Nadeem Aslam, and was recommended to me by a friend. Quite simply, this book blew me away.
It is by far and away the most descriptive writing I have ever read - I really sensed everything the author described - every taste, every sound, every sight, every touch. Just amazing.
The story is about an Asian family and their surroundings in a small English town. The themes include honour killings, integration (or lack of) by the Asians into their new homeland etc.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough - multiple thumbs up from me!
