What They're Saying
Critics Review
`Mixing startling lyricism and sheer brutality, Mohamed plunges into the chattering, viscous heat and ‘hyena darkness’ of Aden…this is a significant, affecting book’ Guardian
`The most exciting, original new fiction is coming out of Africa. Nadifa Mohamed has produced a first novel of elegance and beauty...Watch out for this one during prize season; it's a stunning debut' The Times `Just as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun drew out the little documented dramas of the Biafran war, Mohamed describes an East Africa under Mussolini's rule...such an accomplished first novel' IndependentAbout The Author
