Rezension:
'I sped through The Family Tree, because I was so invested in the characters and eager to know their fate. The book was much darker and more tragic than I had been expecting - and all the better for it. An engrossing and moving story.' Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures
'A brilliant read. This book is everything it promises to be and more. I was totally engrossed and invested in Amjad, Saahil and Zahra's lives. A masterclass in representation and brilliant writing.' Zeba Talkhani, author of My Past is a Foreign Country
'Hussain weaves a tale of fragility and resilience, of the extraordinary in ordinary lives and of love and complexity in family. A wonderful debut.' Catherine Mayer
'A multi-generational story crafted with warmth and an insider's understanding of its environment. Hussain evokes the trials and tribulations of life in an Asian family growing up in a changing and sometimes hostile Britain with a surefoote d ease and a keen sense of dramatic tension. An engaging debut.' Vaseem Khan
'Provides a much needed voice for characters who have been drastically affected by the headlines throughout an emotionally wrought narrative.' Magic Radio
'Such an emotional, heart-warming and unforgettable experience... I cared desperately about the characters and was often in tears as I read - the story is so moving and Sairish Hussain is a VERY talented writer' Aliya Ali-Afzal, author of Would I Lie to You?
'Pulsating with dramatic tension, Hussain poignantly paints the extraordinary in ordinary lives. A moving story of love, laughs and loyalty makes for a brilliant first book from Hussain.' Sunday Post
