Burnt Sugar by Avni Doshi fluctuates between love and betrayal as Tara’s erratic nature heavily affects her relationship with her daughter, who now has to care for a woman who has never cared for her. In this turbulent love story between mother and daughter, we learn about our close relationships with others, and inevitably about ourselves as well.
“Acerbic, full of wit and cool intelligence - every sentence is a coiled spring and each psychological portrait burns itself into the mind. I couldn't put it down,” says author Olivia Sudjic.
Burnt Sugar is on The Booker Prize’s longlist for 2020, the leading literary award for outstanding fiction novels. Here are some other books on the longlist this year:
- The New Wilderness by Diane Cook
- This Mournable Body by Tsitsi Dangarembga
- Apeirogon by Colum McCann
- Love and Other Thought Experiments by Sophie Ward
- Real Life by Brandon Taylor
