Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

‘An unostentatious tour de force, combining a tender and richly affectionate family memoir with a vividly evoked portrait of town and country life and the story of the birth of a nation. It is full of surprises’ Margaret Drabble

‘Beautifully packed with detail ... does for Bangladesh what Salman Rushdie did for India with Midnight’s Children ... It is a remarkable re-creation of a land that most of us know little about’ Sunday Times

‘This is his most purely pleasurable novel to date’ Daily Mail

‘Highly impressive ... for all Hensher's accomplished ventriloquism – his ability to inhabit the voice of a Muslim child and a history teacher at the same time – his own voice is not lost ... heart-breaking’ Guardian

‘A deeply interesting book ... The joins are seamless ... It is inventive, clever and loving; a Booker candidate, I would have thought.’ Spectator

‘...this delightful book shows for the first time what Hensher has largely concealed in the past: his heart’ Amanda Craig, Independent on Sunday

‘...a remarkable piece of ventriloquism ... Hensher proves himself a literary god of small things’ Financial Times

‘Hensher has created a greater thing than just a record of childhood, or war. It probably isn’t Zaved’s story any more, but it’s great just the same” The Observer
