"Classical ideas of human dignity and honour are juxtaposed with the squalor of modern war in this important novel... A beautiful and heartfelt lamentation" -- Eileen Battersby Irish Times "His lyrical prose captures superbly the brutal realities of combat" -- Francesca Angelini Sunday Times "Scorching, tightly wired... It's a reminder that blood fueds are as old as humanity itself" -- Claire Alfree Metro "Written with restrained power" -- Kate Saunders The Times "The first great novel of the war in Afghanistan" Wall Street Journal
