Your wife's on the warpath! Lily Becker takes aim at her ex-con former tennis superstar husband Just as impressively, these big themes are wrapped in a hugely readable story, packed with memorable set-pieces and a full range of entirely believable characters. Sohail’s need for religion is explored with real sympathy - and, although Maya remains right about most things, she has to learn the bitter lesson that, in a messy world, sometimes being right is not enough. Luckily, the book proves far more interesting than that.
