Set in Australia, France, and Sri Lanka, The Life to Come is about the stories we tell and don't tell ourselves as individuals, as societies, and as nations. Driven by a vivid cast of characters, it explores necessary emigration, the art of fiction, and ethnic and class conflict. As Sam Sacks wrote in the Wall Street Journal, "The novel is filled with brilliant, quick-fire characterizations. The Life to Come is a scalpel-sharp work of Flaubertian social realism."
