Editorial Reviews
“A striking debut…The power and beauty of these stories are unparalleled in most fiction to come out of south Asia.”
—Guardian
“A shadowy, enchanting journey…A gripping book, as important
for illuminating the current state of this region as it is timeless in its
beautiful imagery and rhythmic prose.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
