.. a wonderful and incisive novel by a master storyteller ... it says much about social inequity and issues of gender, which are still prevalent in South Asia today. The English translation by Amina Azfar is also a great pleasure to read. DAWN, Pakistan ... carries all elements of drama and tragedy, which one experiences in life. The Nation, Pakistan
