Monica Ali is a Bangladeshi-British novelist. Born in Dhaka, she grew up in Bolton, England.

Ali's fiction is celebrated for its empathy, its cultural insight, and its beautiful prose. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers beautifully written literary fiction about culture, identity, and belonging — novels from one of Britain's most acclaimed literary voices.
