'A suspenseful, entertaining novel. The portrait Holeman paints of Afghanistan and tribal life at the time of the British Raj is brilliant. Her complex characters are likeable and easily capture the reader's interest. She has created a heroine of immense inner strength and self-knowledge unique for a Muslim girl of her background'
