“I absolutely loved it. Heartbreaking and wonderful. He writes beautifully.”
Maggie O’Farrell, author of After You’d Gone

“Could not be more enjoyable, engaging or moving.”
The Observer

“Told with enormous compassion and the most unexpected dry wit. The climax had me on the edge of my seat… What a painful and joyous voyage of discovery!”
Jonathan Coe, author of The Rotters Club

“Tragic, funny and disturbing. If You Don’t Know Me By Now will challenge you, and may even change you. In other words, it’s literature.”
The Independent

“Goes beyond the odyssey of one remarkable family to offer an X-ray of an era. As charming as it is wrenching, as funny as it is haunting, this book is wonderfully unlike any other.”
Andrea Ashworth, author of Once in a House on Fire

“Has single-handedly restored my faith in memoirs… Like some of the very best books, it defies easy categorisation in terms of readership, but I’d recommend it to absolutely anybody – it’s charming and illuminating.”
Alice O’Keeffe, in The Bookseller

“Sensitive… tenacious… funny and revealing… warm, witty, neurotic, self-deprecating, wordplay-loving… In bearing witness to his family’s experience, Sanghera has brought to us rare news of working-class life, of living with mental illness and of overwhelming filial love… you want to punch the air and cry at the same time.”
The Sunday Times

“Gripping… elegant… there is no shred of misery or self-pity in this story, rather an endearing and intelligent humour which provokes honest laughter and absolute respect.”
The Daily Mail

“Fascinating and timely… brave… sweet… beautifully poignant… gripping and entertaining, horrifying and tender… the literary world should welcome a truthful and honest voice that comes from a new generation of very British writers who happen to have had Indian parents.”
The Times

“A rigorous and thoroughly intelligent rebooting of the misery memoir that recalls Dave Eggers’ ‘A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius’ and deserves to do as well.”
