Overview
A brilliant and riveting story of ambition, love, family secrets, and unintended consequences, from ābold storytellerā (The New Yorker) and two-time Booker Prize nominee Sunjeev Sahota
Nayan Olak keeps seeing Helen Fletcher around town. Sheās returned with her teenage son to live in the run-down house at the end of the lane, andāthough sheās strangely guardedāNayan canāt help but be drawn to her. He hasnāt risked love since losing his young family in a terrible accident twenty years earlier.
In the wake of the tragedy, Nayanās labor union, long a cornerstone of his community, became the center of his life: a way for him to channel his energies into making the world a betterāfairer, as he sees itāplace. Now, heās decided to mount a run for the leadership. But his campaign pits him against a newcomer, Megha, who quickly proves to be a more formidable challenger than he anticipated.
As Nayanās differences with Megha spin out of control, complicating the ideals heās always held dear, he grows closer to Helenāand unknowingly barrels toward long-held secrets about how their pasts might be connected. Suddenly, much more is threatened than his chances of winning.
In one sense a tragedy in the classic mold, tracing one manās seemingly inexorable fall, The Spoiled Heart is also an explosively contemporary story of how a few words or a single actionāto one person careless, to another, chargedācan trigger a cascade of unimaginable consequences. A vivid and multi-layered exploration of the mysteries of the heart, how community is forged and broken, and the shattering impact of secrets and assumptions alike, it is a blazing achievement from one of Britainās foremost living writers.
