Sara Banerji describes her style as ‘mystic realism’ – her stories are peopled with vivid characters, whose lives are shot through with magic as well as very real human emotions. They are recounted with dark humour that can all too easily tip over into horror. Critics describe her voice as ‘original and highly imaginative’ ‘entertaining’, ‘bold’, ‘punchy’, ‘exciting’, ‘gripping, fluid and confident’. She is widely acclaimed as ‘a very gifted storyteller’.

You can still be working, succeeding, improving and creating years after those in other professions are forced to retire. I am 84. My tenth novel was published a couple of years ago. My mother was a novelist too, and said that you can write yourself into your fiction, and right all the wrongs in your life. And best of all you can teach writing where you regularly meet wonderful people, and enjoy their witty, exciting work. (less)
