Recensioner i media
An extremely powerful novel, written in a deceptively simple, descriptive style. It is alive with the sights, sounds and smells of India.... Beneath the exquisite details, David tells a brutally honest story of Indian Jews under siege in a society unlike any other where Jews have made a home - The Jerusalem Post; ""A journey across a landscape of experiences. Rising above the story of her own family and her own people, the narrator becomes witness to the play of human lives."" - Indian Review of Books; ""The Walled City is the portrait of a modern Indian metropolis, executed with craft and diligence and the resigned love of one whom the city has made its own"" - Biblio
