Kunders vurdering

mls – 30.03.2008

– Her er det mange historier å fordype seg i og massevis av fascinerende personligheter. I sentrum finner du de to middelaldrende kompisene engelske Archie og Samad fra Bangladesh. Archie og hans karibiske, unge og svarte kone Clara har en datter. Samad og kona har to tvillinggutter, den ene islamsk fundamentalist, den andre stor tilhenger av alt som er britisk. Herlig blanding! Det hele er beskrevet med innsikt, nærhet og en humor som fikk meg til å le høyt. Det eneste jeg har å innvende er at mot slutten av boken får perifere personer litt for mye plass, og historien mister noe av drivkraften synes jeg.
