We're giving away 50 copies of Marriage Material by Sathnam Sanghera. It’s an epic tale of family, love, and politics spanning the 20th century. Told with humour, tenderness and insight by one of Britain's most promising young writers, it was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award and longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize.

To Arjan Banga, returning to the Black Country after the unexpected death of his father, his family's corner shop represents everything he has tried to leave behind – a lethargic pace of life, insular rituals and ways of thinking. But when his mother insists on keeping the shop open, he finds himself being dragged back, forced into big decisions about his imminent marriage back in London and uncovering the history of his broken family – the betrayals and loyalties, loves and regrets that played out in the shop over more than fifty years.

Click here if you’d like to read an extract of the book, or apply for a free copy now. We will post on the thread once all the copies have gone.

This book giveaway is sponsored by Windmill Books.
