Review:
"Fadia Faqir's captivating new novel deals with the timeless themes of unforgiveness, friendship and travel. Exquisitely woven, laced with humour and social awareness, it hums with the futility of erasing the past." Leila Aboulelah, author of THE MINARET "This is a beautiful book, written in vivid, tender prose, about creating a new world when you have lost everything that matters. Salma is an unforgettable character, fierce and loving, veering between self-hatred and a sense of her own strength, touching and funny by terms. Now I have finished the book, I miss her" "Vividly expresses the horror of lives oppressed by archaic patriarchal honour codes" Financial Times "Exquisite ... As Salma's life moves toward its inevitable climax, readers will be transfixed" US Library Journal "Tender and perceptive" Good Housekeeping
