Items related to Buddha Da
In her hugely acclaimed debut Anne Donovan tells an endearing, humorous yet unsentimental story of a working-class Glaswegian man who discovers Buddhism, rejects old habits and seeks a life more meaningful, only to alienate his immediate family in the process.
Moving seamlessly between three family members, Donovan's clear-eyed, richly expressive prose sings off the page. Each character's voice has its own subtle rhythm and the conclusion is a poignant mixture of hope and lingering reservations. Buddha Da is a delight from one of Britain's best writers.

Book Description:
A new cover edition of Anne Donovan's bestselling debut novel
From the Back Cover:
'A delightfully deadpan look at what happens when one family member decides that he's unlocked the secret of the universe.'
Independent
Buddha Da tells the endearing story of a working-class Glaswegian man who discovers Buddhism, rejects old habits
and seeks a life more meaningful, only to alienate his immediate family in the process.
Moving seamlessly between three family members, Donovan's clear-eyed, richly expressive prose sings off the page. Each character's voice has its own subtle rhythm and the conclusion is a poignant mixture of hope and lingering reservations. Buddha Da is a delight from one of Britain's most exciting writers.
'An enchanting novel in which ordinary lives are illuminated with extraordinary charm.'
Daily Telegraph
'Buddha Da reads like a Scottish Roddy Doyle, dealing with potentially heavy issues with an addictive blend of pathos and humour.'
Observer
'Her deliciously corkscrewed tale flows with the sap of everyday life.'
Sunday Times
