London Shah is a British-born Muslim of Pashtun ethnicity. She has lived in Britain's capital for most of her life, via England's beautiful North. When she's not busy re-imagining the past, plotting an alternate present or dreaming up a surreal future, she's most likely drinking copious amounts of tea, eating all the sweets and cakes, strolling through Richmond Park or along the Thames, getting lost on an evening in the city's older, darker alleyways-preferably just after it's rained-listening to punk rock, or losing herself in a fab SFF book or film.
"A breathtaking, hope-filled underwater adventure that always
leaves room for wonder. The story is pacy, the setting lush and
original, but it's Leyla and her positive, determined spirit that
will really steal your heart."--Laura Weymouth, author of The Light
Between Worlds and A Treason of Thorns
"Expertly pairing catastrophe and courage, Shah tells the story of
intensely personal problems in a truly perilous world. I love this
book."--E.K. Johnston, #1 NYT bestselling author of Star Wars:
Queen's Shadow
"A heart-racing adventure that reveals compelling and necessary
truths about several critical issues of our times, while delivering
all the thrills and twists of an epic quest. A stand-out, must-read
book that engulfed me in its enthralling world and characters.
Leyla McQueen is queen of the (under)seas!"--S.K. ALi, New York
Times bestselling author of The Proudest Blue, Saints & Misfits,
and Love From A to Z
"A work of fathomless imagination."--Samantha Shannon, New York
Times bestselling author of The Bone Season and Priory of the
Orange Tree
"Shah's debut is a fast-paced masterpiece from start to finish.
Readers will fall in love with passionate, persistent Leyla as well
as her secretive, swoon-worthy companion, Ari. Shah has skillfully
shaped a gorgeous world unlike any those fans [of dystopian
fiction] have seen before. But be forewarned: the book ends on a
jaw-dropping cliff-hanger. Highly recommended."--School Library
Journal
Praise for The Light at the Bottom of the World:
