Reviews


"Abu-Rayya seems at his accomplished best in this novel . . . He has given his usual theme a vital, almost theatrical edge, investing the narrative with the qualities of good entertainment."--Al-Ahram Weekly


"Abu Rayya's talent comes in creating a web of characters that bring the small, sleepy town in the Delta to life."--Aida Nassar, The Daily Star
