"The eight short stories of Daniyal Mueenuddin's enchanting debut are dreamlike, illuminating contemporary Pakistan's societal contradictions in prose as clear and serene as the contradictions themselves are subtle and tumultuous."
Boston Globe
"Like Turgenev...Mueenuddin has an eye for the
tragedy and beauty in lives that a lesser writer might regard merely as
miserable or eccentric. In recent years, Pakistan has been regarded in
the West with anger and horror. Perhaps Mueenuddin's portrait will help
to bring it a different kind of attention, colored with sorrow and even
fondness."
