LONGLISTED FOR THE COMEDY WOMEN IN PRINT PRIZE 2022/23

'Poignant as well as savagely witty' Observer
'Stylish and funny' Sunday Times
'Hits every note perfectly' Kamila Shamsie

A life-changing app.
The woman who created it.
And the man who took the credit.

When Asha starts work on a revolutionary app together with her new husband Cyrus, she’s thrilled. But while she creates an ingenious algorithm, Cyrus’ charismatic appeal throws him into the spotlight. What happens when the app explodes into the next big thing?

Gripping, witty and razor-sharp, The Startup Wife is a blistering novel about big ambitions, speaking out and standing up for what you believe in.

Recensioni della critica

"Pulses with up-to-the-minute topicality . . . as high-octane entertainment that hits notes poignant as well as savagely witty, it soars"
"Fresh, funny, brave, savage, smart – Tahmima Anam hits every note perfectly in this novel about our new reality and the age-old problems of men and women that no app can fix" (KAMILA SHAMSIE)
"Impossibly timely and bewilderingly smart" (ELIF SHAFAK)
"A funny, poignant, and piercingly satirical take on startup culture" (TULIP SIDDIQ)
"Excellent on the intricacies of sexism and racism (Asha is Bengali) and how migrant experiences differ . . . Anam’s writing is stylish and funny . . . and she guides the reader deftly towards a satisfying conclusion"
"A sparkling comedy about love, work and the search for meaning in our lives, that is funny, tender, sometimes raunchy, always smart. It satirises these crazy times, but with compassion and elegance. A rambunctious, radiant riot of a novel" (MONICA ALI)
"[A] sparky satire of startup culture and the modern search for meaning . . . Smart and funny on culture clashes, male-female dynamics and the cult of wellness"
"An extremely enjoyable, feminist rom-com – gloriously readable, irresistibly funny and even smarter than you realise until you turn the final, triumphant page. I loved this novel" (GILLIAN ANDERSON)
"Well-observed and funny: Anam deftly skewers a world of polished concrete and exposed brick, deranged venture capitalists and apocalypse-obsessed entrepreneurs . . . zippy and smart"
"I raced through this beautifully written, often hilarious and always thought-provoking book about big tech, love, faith and chasing dreams . . . fabulous"
