Marvellous SATHNAM SANGHERA

From the award-winning author of Age of Anger comes a Gatsby-esque tale of wealth and ambition.

A book that demands to be read MOHSIN HAMID

Terrific . . . deeply satisfying to read KAMILA SHAMSIE

Arun and his two classmates, Aseem and Virendra, are the success stories of their generation. As graduates of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, they have smashed social barriers and played-out Gatsby-style fantasies across the globe.

Run and Hide is a lyrical and piercing story of morality, materialism, and upheaval in an ever-changing world.

Sharp, provocative and engaging . . . Run and Hide might be the most zeitgeisty novel you could read SPECTATOR

One of the finest, bravest writers we have JUNOT DIAZ
