Reviews
"The easy option when hearing the news of Malala Yousafzai's shooting is to think that Pakistan is somewhere so distant, inhabited by people so different, that you could never understand why it happened. Wood rather invites us to better understand Malala, her father, and her kinsmen." On Religion journal "...a journey into empathy and imagination coolly and cleanly done. A crucially important tale well told with great humanity." Stephen Lowe, playwright
