Too Fast to Live

The female antidote to Alex Garland, Bidisha's Too Fast to Live is a Tarantino-esque reinterpretation of the Arthurian legends, set in contemporary London. A fast-paced novel about lost loves, crazy ladies, treacherous political affairs, betrayal and ambition; it takes prisoners and throws them into modern day Camelot - an empire ruled by terror, outrage and secret passion.
