	NYC Brick Lane Curry House Indian Restaurant Reviews - Good Food; Average Service, East Village, New York City
		Brick Lane Curry House is one of the few Indian restaurants in New York City that makes tasty Garlic Naan ($4) with just the right amount of garlic.
		Brick Lane is different not merely because it chose to have a British sounding name rather than the banal Taj Mahal, Taste of India, Maharaja, Bombay Palace etc. The restaurant is named after Brick Lane in East London, home of several curry joints.
		Brick Lane Curry House is an Indian restaurant we'd want to visit again in New York, if only we can get away from our self-appointed task of eating at the scores of Indian restaurants dotting Manhattan.- RR

	Monica Ali : Brick Lane : Book Review
		More than any other book I've read in a long time, Brick Lane, shows the emotional conflicts of an immigrant who is attracted by the possibilities of a new culture which is radically different from the culture of the past.
		While the first generation immigrant, like Nazneen, may adhere to the old culture for a long time, some adaptation usually occurs, and the second generation, for whom there are no direct ties to the old culture, often accepts the new culture wholly.
		Brick Lane shows, step by inevitable step, just how this process evolves, creating a vibrant portrait of a family in transition and of a woman coming into her own.

		The pre-publicity hype about Brick Lane was precisely the kind to set alarm bells ringing (we've heard it so often before), but, for once, the excitement is fully justified: Monica Ali's debut novel demonstrates that there is a new voice in modern fiction to be reckoned with.

	Review: Brick Lane by Monica Ali \| Special Reports \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		When you begin Monica Ali's first novel, which catapulted her on to the Granta best young British novelists list before it was even published, you might be forgiven for feeling that the fuss has been a little overstated.
		Throughout the novel, the trials of Nazneen's life in Brick Lane are cut through by letters from home, from her sister Hasina who made a love match and who was then forced to leave her violent husband and try to survive on her own, as a factory worker, a prostitute, and a maid.
		Without ever suggesting that the tribulations of those in the west are self-indulgent, Ali does show how the choices that face the sister in Bangladesh are so much starker than Nazneen's - choices that determine Hasina's survival as well as her happiness.

	Amazon.de: Brick Lane: English Books: Monica Ali (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I bought „Brick Lane" because of all the publicity surrounding the author Monica Ali and her debut novel: "A magnificent coup" according to the „Observer", with a "comic touch" according to the "Guardian".
		Don't get me wrong, at times I enjoyed reading "Brick Lane", but it was not a book that I did not want to put down until I had finished reading the last page.
		"Brick Lane" is basically the story about Nazneen's and Chanu's marriage, their life in Tower Hamlets in London and that of a woman who was left to her fate until she took fate in her own hands.

	Brick Lane by Monica Ali
		This broad question floats above Brick Lane, sinks slowly through the air over Bangladesh, and finally comes to rest on the windowsill of a small East End flat.
		This is the story of two sisters--one who chooses her destiny by opting for a "love marriage" and one who lets destiny dictate her future when she is married off to an older man and moves with him to a small, claustrophobic London flat.
		In Brick Lane, Ali shows us that, as with most of life, the question of fate is not understood through sharply defined truths, rather through slow ripening and willingness to embrace sometimes opposing ideas.
