Professional reviews
"A breathtaking novel from Orange Prize-shortlisted and Commonwealth Writers' Prize-winning author Aminatta Forna. In this delicate yet powerful novel of loves lost and new, of past griefs and of the hidden side of a multicultural metropolis, Aminatta Forna asks us to consider the values of the society we live in, our co-existence with one another and all living creatures - and the true nature of happiness. “Her prose quietly grips us by the throat and then tightens its hold. It is storytelling at its most taut … A gifted writer” INDEPENDENT “A fresh, immaculate stylist and an unsparing chronicler of human vices … Profound” THE TIMES"
