Hannah Rose Woods New Statesman 07/18/2023
There are moments when Rajan really gets into his stride... When he nails the right tone, I realise that I am smiling in that edgy, subconscious way that parents do when they’re willing their children on in a school production. Go to Full Review Sean O'Grady Independent (UK) 07/18/2023
5/5

4/5

3/5

4/5
