'An exquisitely comic tale of self-reinvention and survival' Guardian
'A wittily sympathetic story about an England that tolerates but never quite accepts exotic foreigners' Sunday Times
As a flight from Dubai comes into London's Heathrow and hits turbulence, four people from different corners of the Arab world are thrown together: beautiful, lost Lamis, recently divorced from her wealthy Iraqi husband; Nicholas, an expert at Sotheby's on Islamic daggers; louche and noisy Amira, a Moroccan who lives off immoral earnings and the transvestite Samir, with a monkey hidden in a basket.
Landing safely they go their separate ways, but from then on they find their lives are intimately entwined. ONLY IN LONDON is a funny, tender and sexy novel that uncovers a unique world in the heart of a big city.
