The Spoiled Heart – Sunjeev Sahota

The Spoiled Heart – Sunjeev Sahota: In conversation with Catherine Taylor

From the twice Booker-nominated author of The Year of the Runaways and China Room Sunjeev Sahota’s new book The Spoiled Heart is a magnificent and multi-layered account of love, community and politics, set at the edge of the Peak District, and with a deeply moving family mystery at its heart. Smart, sensitive and utterly topical this is storytelling at its most skilful and compelling – an absolute page turner from one of Sheffield’s and Britain’s finest writers.

‘Sahota is a writer who knows how to turn a phrase, how to light up a scene, how to make you stay up late at night to learn what happens next’ – Kamila Shamsie
