A vibrant portrait of Trinidad in the 1940s . . . [Hosein's] story, often brutal, ultimately tragic, is nevertheless lit by a wide embrace reaching beyond place and people to the bedrock. Immersive, persuasive: an elemental “portal to the Caribbean” delivered in a distinctive voice
Kirkus (starred review)
In Hungry Ghosts, Kevin Jared Hosein takes a small place, a particular slice of Trinidad and writes it with the depth and scope that it deserves. And he does it because he knows it – truly, deeply. The result is a story that is harrowing, fiercely beautiful and deeply human. I won't soon forget these characters or this story. I think we are going to be talking about this book for a long time to come
Ayanna Lloyd Banwo
The biggest, most frightening, beautiful and alive novel I've read in as long as I can remember
Evie Wyld
Hungry Ghosts is an astonishing novel – linguistically gorgeous, narratively propulsive and psychologically profound
Bernardine Evaristo
This is a deeply impressive book, and I think an important one. Its intensity, its narrative attack, the fascinations of its era and setting, make it impossible to tear the attention away. Energy and inventiveness distinguish every page
Hilary Mantel
[Hungry Ghosts] is beautiful, biblical, vast in scope and power, ringing with an energy that blasts from the intricate language. Hosein is a new enormous giant of fiction
