As she did in Brick Lane, Monica Ali once again brings readers into a rich and fascinating London subculture. She paints a vivid portrait of the immigrant workers who staff London’s restaurants and hotels—the personal hopes, histories, and secrets they must conceal as they cook the food and make the beds for London’s elite. This is Upsairs, Downstairs for a new generation. With a thrilling plot and imbued with the author’s keen perspective on the social changes that have swept Britain in recent years, In the Kitchen is a brilliant and riveting work from one of our most acclaimed young writers.
