"Using actual history as a canvas, the author paints an absorbing story of vivid colors, with characters and situations one can relate to, empathize with and care about. This juxtaposition of fact and fiction makes for a compelling read."

"Descriptions of the sights, sounds and smells of the by-lanes of Karachi immediately evoke a synesthetic experience, even if one has never been there. For me, the book combined the crispness of a Ken Follett with the gravitas of a Khalid Hosseini. The author’s descriptions of action are a page-turner."

"...this novel...has everything a reader expects of a good book – relatable characters, immaculate detailing and a well-told story that stays with you long after the last page."
