"This is a dazzling first novel about a math prodigy who is groomed by her parents to attend Oxford at the age of fourteen. However, as Rumi gets older and the family's stark isolation intensifies, numbers start to lose their magic for the teenager; she abandons the rigid timetable of her afternoons and replaces equations with rampant spice abuse. GIFTED captures brilliantly the battle to come of age in an emotional and comic hinterland, where histories, arithmetic and cumin seeds all play a part. A passionate, assured and accessible debut. Nikita Lalwani lives in London."--Publisher.

Bildungsromans.
