'Gripping... irresistible... brilliant' The Times
'Perfectly judged and intimately alive' Guardian
Nayan Olak hasn’t risked love since his young son died.
Instead he has ploughed his grief and energy into his work at the union, trying to create the world he would have wanted for his boy. Now he’s running for the leadership: a huge moment for Nayan, the culmination of everything he believes.
As he grows closer to the mysterious Helen Fletcher, and to the possibility that their pasts may have been connected, much more is suddenly threatened than his chances of winning. And when Megha Sharma, a new candidate with new politics, bursts into the picture, the race of a lifetime is on.
'A plot-packed, propulsive story' New York Times
'Restless, inquiring, utterly topical. The Spoiled Heart may be his finest yet, with a tumultuous but perfectly sustained ending that proves both moving and revelatory' Financial Times
Readers are obsessed with The Spoiled Heart:
**‘A deft and artful novel when it comes to speaking around the philosophical questions that define our current 'culture wars'’
**‘A compelling story that looks at a number of social and cultural issues but is basically a very absorbing narrative’
**‘A masterful novel which asks important topical state-of-the-nation questions’
**‘My favourite of Sahota's novels’
