Three young people from vastly different backgrounds – Armando from Mozambique, Lolita from India and East German national Theo – are drawn together in a small Baltic city in 1989, just as the DDR begins to collapse around them.While a quiet revolution sweeps through Eastern Europe, they find themselves in a poignant love triangle, as their lives intertwine and collide with each other in messy, beautiful ways."An expert novel, The Others is superbly organized, with a steady, tense air of suspense, fine and persuasive emotion, and, above all, truly rich characters alive in a real history. The last pages produced in me a gasp of amazement."– Jonathan Lethem, Author of 'Motherless Brooklyn', National Book Critics Circle Award winner'Kalayil's deft prose is both precise and lyrical, vividly conjuring place, time and characters in flux.'- Joanna Nadin, Sunday Times no 1. bestselling author and Professor of Creative Writing, University of Bristol-'I found it hard to put Sheena Kalayil's fourth novel down, so powerful is the untold story it tells. Yes, The Others is a love story, but it's also magnificently more; I loved the delicate intertwining themes of identity and displacement; setting and historical and political context are incredibly skilfully deployed; but there is also a rare and precious breadth of imagination in the novel. The writing is beautifully confident and flowing, and the characters and their journeys made me cry!'- Emma Henderson, Author of 'The Valentine House'
