Reviews
"I was totally captivated by this novel. Layla is torn between her heart and the restrictions of her culture. She obeys her heart though not without a price. This wonderfully poetic story keeps you hooked right to the very end." Stephanie Hale, author and broadcaster "a bittersweet tale of betrayed trust and ruptured innocence... the feel for colour and language is vibrant" Guardian first novel choice "Vividly written, fresh and eloquent, a girl's poignant tale of love and menace in contemporary Iran." Fay Weldon
