A fiercely clever book. * The New Statesman * A Farsi Isabel Allende. * The Guardian * It takes a special writer and Azar is one such to avoid faltering when the harshest experiences are interlaced with scenes of fantastical interventions in the routine experiences of the characters. The lives created within this novel and the conditions to which they must adapt, lead to extraordinary scenes. * The Irish Times * A sumptuous meditation on the practice of interpretation. * Asymptote Journal * A mesmerizing and richly textured novel about Iranian history post Islamic Revolution. A sublime tale about how a nations past defines its national and personal narratives, written by one of Irans rising literary talents. * BookRiot * If ever there was a book that needs to be read more than once, this is it. * ArtsHub * [Azars] book is a great journey.
