Sobre este título

Winner of the Epigram Books Fiction Prize
‘Slick, sharp . . . a joy to read’ - Tash Aw, author of Five Star Billionaire

Jasmine Leong is the heiress apparent to Phoenix, her family’s billion-ringgit company known especially for its pork snacks. When her grandmother, the great Madame Leong, unexpectedly passes away, Jasmine discovers she is actually a Malay Muslim and this newfound identity threatens to upend her life and ambitions.

Finding herself at the centre of a political controversy, and caught between two men who love her, Karina Robles Bahrin's The Accidental Malay examines the human cost of a country’s racial policies and paints a portrait of a woman unwilling to accept the fate history has designated for her.

'A novel both generous and scathing; both honest and nuanced; both grounded in human emotion and engaged with history and politics' - Preeta Samarasan, author of Evening Is the Whole Day

A sharply observed, <b>elegantly crafted culture-clash state-of-the-nation drama</b> that is not only witty but heartfelt. (Epigram Book Fiction Prize Judges)
Desire, religion and politics collide in this <b>delicious debut</b> . . . <b>Slick, sharp</b> and full of the frustrations and joys of modern urban Malaysia (Tash Aw, author of We, The Survivors)
A <b>deeply nuanced</b> study in the sometimes suffocating intertwining of race and religion for Malay-Muslims. (Suffian Hakim, author of Harris bin Potter and the Stoned Philosopher )
A novel both generous and scathing . . . <b>a fast-paced, character-driven</b>, furious and yet somehow joyful exploration of Malay ethnoreligious supremacy (Preeta Samarasan, author of Evening is the Whole Day )
Braving the intersections and contradictions of race, class and gender, one woman&rsquo;s private campaign for self- definition becomes a search for love amidst corporate manoeuvrings, familial pressures and the challenging complexities of her country&rsquo;s cultural politics. (Cyril Wong, author of This Side of Heaven )
Stylish, trenchant, yet brimming with heart, <i>The Accidental Malay </i>captures the complexities of contemporary Malaysia with wit and grace (Kirstin Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Counterfeit)
