Monica Ali BRICK LANE Signed Hardback
First edition seventeeth print hardback of BRICK LANE by Monica Ali and published by Doubleday in 2003. Signed 'With Best Wishes' to a previous owner by Ali on the title page. Numberline is 17 19 20 18.The book is in near fine condition (black cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine) with some tiny closed tears to the head of the spine and light age tanning to the pages and page edges. The book is in a near fine unclipped dust jacket which has light creasing to the top edge of the spine and top corner of the front cover. Internally the pages are otherwise clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.
A captivating read from a debut novelist, Brick Lane brings the immigrant milieu of East London to vibrant life. With great poignancy, Ali illuminates a foreign world; her well-developed characters pull readers along on a deeply psychological, almost spiritual journey. Through the eyes of two Bangladeshi sisters the plain Nazneen and the prettier Hasina we see the divergent paths of the contemporary descendants of an ancient culture. Hasina elopes to a "love marriage," and young Nazneen, in an arranged marriage, is pledged to a much older man living in London.
