Rezensionen

"Hashimi's narrative is telenovela-good-daring adventurers, deadly secrets, family drama, the beloved dead, a politician-in-the-making, true love, and more."
- Booklist (starred review)

"The question of whether Sitara can go home again is the existential and physical journey Hashimi conjures, in a story at once surreal and deeply rooted in the history of Afghanistan's modern turmoil and ancient enchantment." - NPR

"A fascinating epic tale." - New York Post

"Thrilling and moving" - Booklist

"The novel is an elegiac tribute to family and civilization-fragile collective entities that should be cherished while they still hold." - BookPage
