‘Poignant as well as savagely witty’ Observer
‘Stylish and funny’ Sunday Times
‘Hits every note perfectly’ Kamila Shamsie
 
A life-changing app.
The woman who created it.
And the man who took the credit.
 
When Asha starts work on a revolutionary app together with her new husband Cyrus, she’s thrilled. But while she creates an ingenious algorithm, Cyrus’ charismatic appeal throws him into the spotlight. What happens when the app explodes into the next big thing?
 
Gripping, witty and razor-sharp, The Startup Wife is a blistering novel about big ambitions, speaking out and standing up for what you believe in.
 
“Pulses with up-to-the-minute topicality … as high-octane entertainment that hits notes poignant as well as savagely witty, it soars”
observer
 
“Fresh, funny, brave, savage, smart – Tahmima Anam hits every note perfectly in this novel about our new reality and the age-old problems of men and women that no app can fix”
Kamila Shamsie
 
“Impossibly timely and bewilderingly smart”
Elif Shafak
 
“Excellent on the intricacies of sexism and racism (Asha is Bengali) and how migrant experiences differ... Anam’s writing is stylish and funny... and she guides the reader deftly towards a satisfying conclusion”
sunday Times
 
“A sparkling comedy about love, work and the search for meaning in our lives, that is funny, tender, sometimes raunchy, always smart. It satirises these crazy times, but with compassion and elegance. A rambunctious, radiant riot of a novel”
Monica Ali
