The remarkable debut novel from critically acclaimed writer Huma Qureshi: an engrossing story of art and sisterhood, family, marriage and betrayal 'Poignant and impressionistic . . . highly readable and relatable' Guardian 'A gem of a novel' i 'A beautifully written debut' Red Hana has a perfect job, a perfect home, a perfect marriage.

Mira dreams of a creative life but she's stuck working at a local café. She hates her flatmate and Hana's dismissal of her writing but she can't find the right inspiration. One night, a fight between Hana and her husband sparks something in Mira: the words ring in her head and she starts typing. But what can you borrow from your sister? And what can be forgiven?
