I loved this book, the work of an author who is finding her full stride, confident in her ability to spin a rich yarn of interlocking voices, themes and moral enquiry. It’s an ambitious state-of-the-nation fable of five neighbouring multi-ethnic Outer London families who are represented variously by children and parents, with each narrator having a well-rounded and unique personality. The Magic Carpet deserves to reach a wide audience.
