What The Reviewers Say

Pico Iyer,
Air Mail
Part of the grace of the book is to present us with a thoughtful and impassioned woman who sits outside every stereotype.
Frances Stead Sellers,
The Washington Post
An innovative, unsettling and utterly compelling narrative.
Louise Callaghan,
The Sunday Times (UK)
The picture Diane paints of the incompetence and fearful mishandling of the American hostages is horrifying.
John Self,
Irish Times (IRE)
Has an inbuilt tension, even though we know the key developments.
