When we launched Macmillan New Writing a couple of months ago one of the authors, Suroopa Mukherjee, came to London with her husband for the launch. You can see and listen to her talking about her book here.

The book (along with the others in the series) is selling well on the back of excellent reviews and by present-day standards reasonable stock in bookshops.

The series was greeted with varying degrees of enthusiasm in the British media but I think this article in India's leading newspaper Daily News and Analysis is the best balanced.

Incidentally, if you go to the MNW website you'll see that a number of the titles are showing as out of stock. We have had to reprint just about every one - but new stock will be available soon and there are copies in bookshops - both independents and chains.
