Louis Edwards has written such a book with his latest, “Ramadan Ramsey” . . . Edwards, a critically acclaimed writer who has received both a Guggenheim fellowship and a Whiting Award, hasn’t published a book-length work in nearly two decades. His new book was worth the wait.” — New York Times Book Review   “An immediate global classic, Ramadan Ramsey joins the ranks of  Sula, Oliver Twist, and Moll Flanders, as a tale named for a character that invites readers into a world both hyper-local and universal. New Orleans has never been more vivid on the page.” — Alice Randall, author of Black Bottom Saints  “Ramadan’s resilience, quick wit, and steadfast spirit render him something of a 21st-century update on the characters of Dickens and Twain. . . . This will have readers enthralled with the beauty of life, despite all its tragedies and sorrows.”  — Publishers Weekly (starred review)  “A young Southern boy travels to the Middle East to find his father in this delightful and intimate modern epic. . . . A novel that is as exhilarating as it is moving; a fine achievement.”  — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)  “Returning to fiction after a long hiatus, Edwards masterfully conveys the sights, smells, and tastes of each setting from the Ninth Ward to Istanbul and Aleppo. Surrounding Ramadan with a Dickensian array of churchgoers, fortune tellers, and hustlers as well as a kind-hearted Turkish cabdriver and Middle Eastern teens obsessed with American sports and music, Edwards vividly dramatizes every turn in his hero's quest to discover who he is.” — Booklist (starred review)  “Ramadan Ramsey is a rollicking and exhilarating novel.”   — Minneapolis Star Tribune","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49399740334423,"sku":"9780063012042","price":13.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ramadan-ramsey-9780063012042","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
