THE BOOK BAG.CO.UK
'The prose is beautiful - elegant, elegiac, precise...This is a very classy novel' (4-stars)
Review
'Ganeshananthan mixes up the sequence, tossing before the reader shards of memories which look like pieces of broken bangles. But when we look at those broken bangles through her kaleidoscope, her twisting of the lens reveals patterns that make it possible to understand aspects of the conflict, even if the horrors cannot be excused' (THE INDEPENDENT )
'The prose is beautiful - elegant, elegiac, precise...This is a very classy novel' (4-stars) (THE BOOK BAG.CO.UK )
'This story is written in a series of many short extracts, fragmented parts of the whole and it works really well. This is how events happened and it's that useful imagery of the patchwork or the jigsaw that prevails sa slowly all the gaps are filled...A beautifully written story' (DOVE GREY READER )
'An unusual and accomplished first novel...Sadly topical and widely relevant, but also an assured piece of writing and a commentary on a situation many of us know little about' (CORNFLOWER )
'Sri Lanka's civil war forms the backdrop to a powerful debut novel that explores the diverse possibilities of different marriages....Moving and intelligent' (METRO )
'Innovative...this is an amibtious family drama about an underreported part of the world, filled with well-shaded characters (and) gorgeous flourish...Buy it' (NEW YORK MAGAZINE )
'In spare, lyrical prose, VV Ganeshananthan's debut novel tells the story of two Sri Lankan Tamil families over four generations who, despite civil war and displacement, are irrevocably joined by marriage and tradition...Powerful' (MS MAGAZINE )
'A haunting debut written with great finesse, this is a beautiful novel' (WATERSTONES BOOKS QUARTERLY )
'Ganeshananthan has created a slow-burning and beautifully written debut in Love Marriage. It is an evocative examination of Sri Lankan cultural mores, and the way one family is affected by love and war' (FINANCIAL TIMES )
'The book is at times witty and always beautifully written' (IRISH TIMES )
