Critics Review

Charming and endearing … There’s a lyricism to A.P. Firdaus’s writing, and I admire how he blends a touch of lightness with the book’s heavier exploration of partition, loss and family tragedy to create a moving story about the past and the shadow it forever leaves on the present – Huma Qureshi, author of Things We Do Not Tell the People We Love
Sublime. A wonderful book that employs playful and magical elements in order to explore the past’s hold over the present. A fantastic debut from a promising new literary voice. – Nick Bradley, author of Four Seasons in Japan
