THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Heartbreaking, heartwarming yet unsentimental, and savagely comic all at the same time'
Guardian

'Some of the most beautiful writing I've experienced in my lifetime' OPRAH WINFREY

READERS ARE OBSESSED WITH THE EMPEROR OF GLADNESS:

'Read it slowly. Let it wreck you. Then read it again'
'I feel like I lost part of my soul to this book... a contender for my favourite of the year'
'I would give it 6 stars if I could'
'Sad and funny, devastating and quietly celebratory'
'A masterwork of compassion and complexity. A book to sit with, to feel deeply, and to return to'

College dropout Hai doesn't know how to face the future until a chance meeting with elderly widow Grazina changes his life, in this achingly beautiful novel about chosen family and second chances

One summer evening in the town of East Gladness, Connecticut, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on a bridge, ready to jump, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia. Over the course of the year, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond.

The Emperor of Gladness shows the profound ways in which our lives are changed by the most unexpected of people. When Hai takes a job at a diner to support himself and Grazina, his fellow workers become the family he didn't expect to find. United by desperation and circumstance, and existing on the fringes of society, together they bear witness to each other's survival.

This is an unforgettable story of unexpected friendship and how far we would go to possess one of life's most fleeting mercies: a second chance.

A Most Anticipated Book in Guardian, Financial Times, Sunday Times Style, BBC, GQ, New York Times and AnOther

'Perfectly tuned... May well be the first millennial Great American Novel' ArtReview

'A fine-grained social panorama driven by the developing camaraderie of an ensemble cast bonded in precariousness and pain' Observer

'His most vivid, ambitious work yet' Dazed

'This stunning book moved me so much, I fell in love with its characters and grieved their absence in my life when I turned the last page' CAITRÍONA BALFE


'A poetic, dramatic and vivid story. It has an epic sweep but it also handles intimacy and love with delicacy and deep originality' COLM TÓIBÍN
