Acerca de esta escucha
An intensely moving, lyrical, and often funny novel about a family whose story of migration from Kenya and India to England is told over three separate days, across six decades.
Bedi and Sushma's marriage is arranged. When they first meet, they stumble through a faltering conversation about happiness and hope and agree to go in search of these things together. But even after their children Selena, Tara and Rohan are grown up and have their own families, Bedi and Sushma are still searching.
Years later, the siblings attempt to navigate life without their parents. As they travel to the Ganges to unite their father's ashes with the opaque water, it becomes clear that each of them has inherited the same desire to understand what makes a life happy, the same confusion about this question and the same enduring hope.
A Person is a Prayer plumbs the depths of the spaces between family members and the silence that rushes in like a flood when communication deteriorates. It is about how short a life is and how the choices we make can ripple down generations.

'A deeply felt debut–smart, funny and impressively soulful. I read it in one sitting'–Harriet Gibsone, author of Is This OK?
'A Person is a Prayer has a prismatic quality... It's a rich read, freighted with the weight of expectation, where overlapping perspectives illuminate new corners of contemporary British life'–Emma Warren, author of Dance Your Way Home
'Nuanced and deeply perceptive, an honest reflection of families and how we are inescapably shaped by them. A heartbreaking yet funny and poetic story of finding home in comfort over joy'–Sarathy Korwar, award-winning musician
