GIFTED is a story about 15 year old Rumi, a talented mathematician with a place at Oxford whose real battle is to escape her family. Both tragic and comic, GIFTED is a coming of age story seen through the lens of immigration, race, maths and sex. The radio serial won a Mental Health Media Award, and the book won the Desmond Elliot Prize 2008, was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2007 and shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award 2007.
