* Maureen Freely *‘Poetic... In bringing the two worlds together, this book adds its voice to related works by Khaled Hosseini and Jhumpa Lahiri.’
* The Wee Review *‘Both precise and lyrical, this novel of epic scope suggests it’s through service towards those whom fortune has forsaken that one can truly find peace.’
* Fouad Laroui, Prix Goncourt winner *‘Rich and gripping... The story that Anissa Bouziane tells with brio inhabits the world between thriller and philosophical tale… A text that is true, precise and without concession.’
