The Accidental Malay
批評家のレビュー
'A sharply observed, elegantly crafted culture-clash state-of-the-nation drama that is not only witty but heartfelt.' (Epigram Book Fiction Prize Judges)
'A deeply nuanced study in the sometimes suffocating intertwining of race and religion for Malay-Muslims.' (Suffian Hakim, author of Harris bin Potter and the Stoned Philosopher)
'Braving the intersections and contradictions of race, class and gender, one woman’s private campaign for self- definition becomes a search for love amidst corporate manoeuvrings, familial pressures and the challenging complexities of her country’s cultural politics.' (Cyril Wong, author of This Side of Heaven)
あらすじ・解説
Winner of the Epigram Books Fiction Prize
‘Slick, sharp . . . a joy to read’ Tash Aw
Jasmine Leong is the heiress apparent to Phoenix, her family’s billion-ringgit company known especially for its pork snacks. When her grandmother, the great Madame Leong, unexpectedly passes away, Jasmine discovers she is actually a Malay Muslim and this newfound identity threatens to upend her life and ambitions.
Finding herself at the centre of a political controversy, and caught between two men who love her, The Accidental Malay examines the human cost of a country’s racial policies and paints a portrait of a woman unwilling to accept the fate history has designated for her.
'A novel both generous and scathing; both honest and nuanced; both grounded in human emotion and engaged with history and politics' Preeta Samarasan, author of Evening Is the Whole Day
