Reviews

Extraordinary... as an evocation of family love, with all its sharpness, pain and need, Meatless Days is almost faultless
*New Statesman*

A jewel of insight and beauty
*Los Angeles Times Book Review*

Some of the more heart-shaking writing about love and grief I've ever read
*Kamila Shamsie, from the introduction*

The author has a gift for rendering her family with a few, deft strokes, turning them out as whole and complete as eggs
*Anita Desai*

Dazzling... Suleri is a postcolonial Proust
*Voice Literary Supplement*

Suleri writes with a surgical intellectual frankness... and a poetic precision which crisps the reader into paying absolute attention
*London Review of Books*

A tour de force of memory and interpretation...What makes Meatless Days such an astonishing book is its corrosive effect on partitions of all kinds - between body and history, politics and poetry, language and experience, the East and the West.
*Village Voice*

Nine autobiographical tales that move easily back and forth among Pakistan, Britain, and the United States. . . . She forays lightly into Pakistani history, and deeply into the history of her family and friends. . . . The Suleri women at home in Pakistan make this book sing
*New York Times Book Review*

An incredibly smart, dryly funny and hugely moving read
*The Pool*

A bewitching memoir of loss... remarkable
*The National*
