Fundamentally

Funny, gripping and compassionate; Fundamentally is a truly original novel that you won't be able to put down - Dolly Alderton

I really, REALLY loved it - the voice, the setting, the plot, all of it. It's original, warm, funny and engaging. A breath of fresh air - Marian Keyes

Younis is a fantastic comic writer: caustic, pitiless, unafraid, with razor-sharp powers of observation. The book is laugh-out-loud funny, and many of the jokes, besides being hilarious, are jaw-dropping in their audacity... Fundamentally is certainly a wild ride, but besides being one of the most entertaining novels I've read in a long while, it will also leave you deeply moved and (incidentally) much better informed than you were before about one of the key political crises of our time. Essential reading. - Jonathan Coe

Tart, tender, trenchant, and hilarious, Fundamentally is a brilliant novel about faith and friendship that refuses to be any one single thing -- because it is EVERYTHING. Nussaibah Younis is a genius - Catherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of Sandwich

Not only hysterically funny but trenchant and necessary. I loved it - India Knight

An absolute riot of a novel. The humour is so sharp you could cut yourself and the action does not stop. Underneath all that though lies some serious topics, deftly handled, and boy, did I get some of my own thinking challenged. Loved it - Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things

I loved Fundamentally. I laughed all the way through . . . it's brilliantly done. It's impressive how the book combines elements of farce with such emotional depth and moral complexity. An incredibly accomplished debut. - Rebecca Wait, author of I'm Sorry You Feel That Way

I loved this. Laugh out loud funny, outrageous and thought provoking - a winning combination. The compassion at its heart is huge. Nussaibah's experience shines through the page. Best use of fiction I know, to educate and encourage empathy while entertaining the reader so much they don't realise. Highly recommend - Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange

Impossibly funny whilst darkly probing, Fundamentally is the whole package: a raunchy, irreverent, touching, and daring debut with slicing commentary wrapped in bold, biting humour. It slyly and systematically rejects our swallowed concepts of heroes and who is correct, and posits instead the better question: what is right? - Parini Shroff, author of The Bandit Queens

A white-hot critique of international aid, with side-splitting prose - Nicola Dinan, author of Bellies

Clever and thoughtful: passionate but clear-eyed, confronting but nuanced, enlightening and. . . very funny - Caroline Hulse, author of Reasonable People

Bold yet subtle, witty and constantly surprising: such an impressive debut - Charlotte Mendelson, author of The Exhibitionist
