Recenzii

Beautifully written in cunning, punning, glancing prose
A whirlwind . Owes plenty to Salman Rushdie and some to Hollywood . Exuberant, knowingly exotic and deceptively serious
Kamila Shamsie has created a rich, bright world
A funny, clever and romantic story . perhaps Kamila Shamsie is our new multi-culti Nancy Mitford; a global girl who does love in both hot and cold climates
The stories within the stories describe Pakistani society, its peoples and its mores, better than anything that has come from the Other Side for a long time. This is a good read
