‘Masterfully composed, the novel sums up aeons of history and culture with an assurance of narrative power that makes the picture of the past and the present as compelling as his imaginings of the future. Present fears are no less than the horrible imaginings, the novel seems to say. Learned and sagacious, the narrative pleases while it also awes the reader’
—Shamsur Rahman Faruqi, author of The Mirror of Beauty
‘Osama Siddique’s ambitious historical novel will be of consequence . . . to the Indian subcontinent’
—Bapsi Sidhwa, author of Ice-Candy-Man
‘A welcome addition to South Asia’s burgeoning trove of English-language literature; it will engage and absorb a cross-section of readers with its sparkling wit, lyrical bursts and welter of insights into human frailties and foibles’
—Ayesha Jalal, historian and author of Jinnah: The Sole Spokesman
